Our Board of Directors

Great Lakes United is governed by a twenty-five-member board of directors that convenes every four months. The board's seven-member executive committee meets by phone more often.

To assure that Great Lakes United remains international and multi-regional in character, our organizational bylaws mandate that eleven seats be filled by Canadian citizens and eleven by United States citizens, that six of those twenty-two seats be filled by  residents of the different lake and St. Lawrence River basins, that two be members of a First Nation or Tribe, and that the positions of president and vice president must not both be from both from Canada, nor both from the United States.
