Colton Buckley has been actively involved in the RC&D network, serving as CEO of NARCDC and as a local RC&D council member in both Oklahoma and Texas. His dedication to resource conservation and rural development has been reflected in his service at the state level and as a national NARCDC board member before stepping into the role of CEO.

Congratulations to Colton!
We know that you are the BEST for the job! Alamo RCD wishes you well!
Oh gosh this is such exciting news-both for Colton personally and for our organization as a whole. The State of New MExico and the New Mexico state RC&D council and our remaining five councils have greatly benefitted from Colton’s dedication to the RC&D movement and our untapped capacity.
Of Course the RC&D family has lost someone who has really heklped to project the RC&D organziation forward, with his energy and enthusiasm but he will jsut bring that same 110% effort in his new job.
