Beiersdorfer has served on the Dearborn County Soil and Water Board, the Oklahoma-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Conservation Council, and currently serves on the Dearborn County Extension Board. She has sponsored and participated in Ag-Day with the Dearborn and Ripley County Farm Bureaus for the past 18 years.
