The organization structure consists of a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors. These members are equally divided by geography to ensure balanced representation across the region, including four members from the 3-Lakes District, four members from the Mainstem District, and four members from the Fraser Valley District. The day-to-day operations and core functions are handled by three board members and one alternate for each district, a Marketing Agency, a Public Relations Specialist and a Social Media Specialist.
