Jim Sipperly, an Enviromental Resources Specialist for the City of Middletown, was elected national President of the National Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils at its February 28th meeting in Washington DC.
The influential council helps support sustainable community growth through its chapters across the country.
According to the NARC&D website:
The purpose of the RC&D Program is to encourage and improve the capability of volunteer local elected and civic leaders in designated RC&D Areas to plan and carry out projects for resource conservation and community development.
RC&D is a unique program that is led by local volunteer councils. RC&D is a way for people to work together to plan and carry out activities that will make their area a better place to live. Such activities lead to sustainable communities, prudent land use and the sound management and conservation of natural resources.
Program objectives focus on “the quality of life” improvements achieved through natural resources conservation and community development. An RC&D Area usually covers several counties.
