The Fire Safe Council of San Diego County (FSCSDC) was formed in 1997 and is comprised of a 15-member Board of Directors (voting members).  The Board consists of federal, state and local agencies and stakeholders as determined by the FSCSDC.  The FSCSDC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is incorporated under the California Franchise Tax Board.  The FSCSDC is a member of the California Fire Safe Council, a non-profit corporation, and is authorized to use the name “Fire Safe Council” and the FSC logo.  All FSCSDC Council members have common goals of fire safety education and pre-fire management, attend meetings and participate in SDCFSC programs and activities.

Approved Associate Members (Community FSCs) are advisors to the Board of Directors (non-voting members of the Board).  One At-Large voting council member is selected from all the Associate Members to sit on the Board of Directors. Community Fire Safe Council members, federal, state, and local agencies and community stakeholders are welcome and encouraged to participate in FSCSDC meetings and events. 

Active participation in the Associate Membership program of the FSCSDC is highly encouraged—your Council’s opinions, concerns, and activities for fire safety are important to us and to your community. Working together, we can utilize our combined experience, expertise, partnerships and common objectives to create homes, businesses and communities that are well-protected from hazards of wildfire.

Board of Directors Meetings Information:

Resource Conservation District Board of Directors

The RCD is governed by a seven member board of directors comprised of locally appointed or elected officials who serve without pay. As public officials representing landowners and the general public, directors assume a leadership position within the district by providing direction in the community's natural resource programs.

Directors may be elected or appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. Due to the cost of elections, the RCD of Greater San Diego County chooses to have directors appointed.

Associate Directors are officially appointed by the board as advisors to broaden the board's range of expertise and to assist with programs. A district may recruit an unlimited number of Associate Directors.
