BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Canby Fire District consists of five (5) members serving four (4) year staggered terms. Board Members must be property owners in the District. Four (4) Board Members represent geographical zones in the District where their property is located and one (1) Member represents the District as a whole.

The elected Board Member is sworn into the Board position, attends a work session to acquaint them with the facilities, equipment, personnel, and Board policies, and assumes the duties of the position. Unless filling a vacancy on the Board, terms of office start officially on July 1st.
