Board of Governors

Our 14-member governing council meets once a year to discuss our structure and vision to provide guidance to the Executive Director. The BOG is comprised of Senior Representatives (signatories on the SCCOOS Memorandum of Understanding). In addition, BOG approves new members proposed by SCCOOS program staff to assure that the four focus areas are addressed by member diversity, choosing at least one BOG member for each focus area.
