WCED Council
The WCED Council was originally formed in the 1990's with the intention of inspiring economic development in the county. The council consists of two representatives from each commissioner district, community, one from the extension council and superintendent from each school district in the county. The council acts as an advisory board to the director. The council has monthly meetings to discuss projects and suggest ideas for future endeavors of the department.
