About the LMCD
Board of Directors
The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors composed of one member appointed by the City Councils of the 14 municipalities that border Lake Minnetonka. The Board provides direction for the organization, develops policies and initiatives, and helps build partnerships to carry out the mission of preserving and enhancing the “Lake Minnetonka experience”. Serving on the Board is a great way to guide the future of Lake Minnetonka, helping to protect the Lake, the communities, and all those who enjoy it.
Terms
Terms on the LMCD Board run from February 1st through January 31st of the following year. The LMCD state enabling legislation calls for Board members to be appointed for three-year terms subject to recall by the cities. There are no applicable term limits for Board members. A time commitment is involved. In addition to the formal board meetings, many members are active on committees, workshops, or special projects, as well as in their community.
Because the Lake is unique, application of the LMCD ordinances is often complex and requires time for Board Members to process. Therefore, the LMCD works with the 14 cities to stagger Board member’s terms. If you are interested in a leadership role and want to use your skills and enthusiasm to be an ambassador of the Lake, consider joining our organization. If you would like to serve the Lake Community in other capacities, other volunteer opportunities are also available. Contact us for more information.
