Governance

Our Board of Directors is composed of three parts, each containing an equal number of seats. One third of the board represents the interests of people who are local residents, and will one day be represented by residents within the CLT (“local resident representatives”). One third represents the interests of residents from the surrounding “community” who do not live in the CLT but are important to the area, suc as schools and residents’ assocations (“community representatives”). And one third is made up of public officials, local funders, nonprofit providers of housing or social services, and other individuals presumed to speak for the public interest ("public representatives"). Control of the CLT’s board is therefore diffused and balanced so as to ensure that all interests are heard but no interest is ever predominant.
