Board of Directors


A five-member Board of Directors, elected for staggered four-year terms oversees the District's work. Under state law, only two of the Directors can represent incorporated areas of the City of Austin. Three Directors must reside in rural areas of the District. The Board meets at least bimonthly. All Board and advisory committee meetings are open to the public. Directors hire a general manager, who is the chief operating officer.

The Board sets policies and adopts rules and bylaws to operate the District. The Board also appoints a Policy Advisory Committee to review and recommend various activities and procedures of the District. This committee is made up of local citizens who are knowledgeable about environmental and economic concerns within the District.

Board members serve on state and local committees to address issues that affect groundwater, and also speak at meetings and events. Subjects include topics about legislation, policy, and general information about the aquifer.
