GOVERNING BOARD (current board members are listed on the left of this page)
The BRAG Governing Board consists of 15 elected officials. The nine county representatives include three county commissioners from each of Box Elder and Rich counties and two County Council members and the County Executive from Cache County. Six members are mayors, with two from each county representing all incorporated cities and towns in their county. The Board meets bi-monthly on the fourth Tuesday of the month with the meeting rotating from county to county.
There are five advisory boards and councils charged with providing oversight and direction to their respective programs as well as advising the BRAG governing board members regarding program operations. Citizens who serve on these boards give their time unselfishly to help ensure effective and efficient program management.
