The Board is comprised of County Commissioners, City Council Members, and Mayors from member governments within Huerfano and Las Animas Counties.

Their leadership plays a vital role in fostering intergovernmental cooperation, advancing regional priorities, and enhancing the quality of life for the communities we serve.
