“Our membership in the National Special Districts Association complements the important work we do through the National Association of Conservation Districts. NACD provides an essential national voice for conservation districts and the natural resources mission, while NSDA connects us to a much broader movement of special districts and industries across the country.

Nebraska’s Natural Resources Districts are uniquely positioned at the intersection of water, land use, conservation, agriculture, flood control, drought, wildfire and other natural-resource challenges. We need to stay informed and engaged on all of these issues—and NSDA helps ensure that our perspective is part of the national conversation. Being part of NSDA allows us to learn from and stand alongside other special districts, strengthen our collective voice, and help advance recognition and support for the special district model nationwide.”

— Dean Edson, Executive Director, Nebraska Association of Resources Districts

“Emergency services districts are focused on providing the best fire protection or emergency medical services to the people in their communities, and that covers more than 10 million Texans. Those services save property and lives,” said Clay Avery, Executive Director of the State Association of Fire & Emergency Services Districts (SAFE-D), a founding member of the Texas Special Districts Coalition and NSDA member. “SAFE-D’s involvement in TSDC will help responders across Texas – from El Paso to Beaumont – use their taxpayers’ dollars more efficiently and effectively.”
