The URNRD is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors. Board members serve constituents within their respective subdistricts; one board member is elected from each subdistrict, and one at-large member is elected. The URNRD Board of Directors is elected to protect your natural resources by providing a local voice. If you have a question or concern regarding groundwater, conservation or land use, please contact your local board member.

The URNRD Board of Directors is responsible for establishing District policies, programs, rules and regulations, and adopting the necessary budget, in order to fulfill the responsibilities of the District as authorized and required by law. The Board is also responsible for overseeing management to ensure that the policies, programs, regulations, and budget are carried out as intended, and for approving District expenditures. The day-to-day management is the General Manager’s responsibility. In general, the Board sets policy and the staff carries it out.
