Board of Trustees
Board members are elected for six-year terms in consolidated April elections. The Board is governed by the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees.
Our Board of Trustees generally meets at 6:30 pm on the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are held in the Business & Community Center on the second floor. The meetings are open to the public, but room capacity may be limited due to social distancing requirements. All attendees must self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms. Masks are recommended. Meetings are livestreamed on our YouTube Events channel.
Please read our policies regarding public comment at Board meetings and remote participation.
