GRDA is governed by a seven-member board of directors comprised of representatives from each GRDA customer class – municipals, electric cooperatives and industrials – as well as the GRDA lakes area. Senate confirmation is not required.

Two at-large representatives also sit on the board. Board members serve staggered, five-year terms, with one position opening each year, to ensure continuity.

GRDA is a policy driven organization. Directors utilize an active committee structure to make the most effective decisions and set the appropriate tone from the top.
