Ottawa Co. Ohio elects first female SWCD supervisor

Constance Sandwisch says being the first female Supervisor elected to the Ottawa County Ohio Soil and Water Conservation District Board is an honor and she’s excited to serve.

“Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I can’t contribute to a board,” Sandwisch said. “With my experience with my husband farming and some of the conservation programs that he has implemented I felt that I could add to the board.

Sandwisch says as a new Supervisor, attending her first Ohio Federation of SWCD’s annual meeting this week was a good learning experience.

“And I wanted to experience the program and the sessions that hopefully I can take back information to implement new things to our county,” said Sandwisch.

Just from the standpoint of learning the scope of what the Ottawa County SWCD has to offer, Constance says serving as a District Supervisor has already exceeded her expectations,
