The Rio Grande Water Conservation District (RGWCD) is governed by a Board of Directors who are appointed for three-year terms by each of the San Luis Valley Board of County Commissioners within the District. The county commissioners appoint two directors from each county, with the exception of Mineral County, which only appoints one director.

The Board of Directors meets on a quarterly basis on the third Tuesday of January, April, July, and October. Please check the home page or the calendar for the specific dates, times, and places of the meetings.
