SOCWA is a Joint Powers Authority governed by a ten-member Board of Directors, with one director appointed to represent each member agency. The Board works to fulfill SOCWA’s purpose and mission, while balancing the interests of their respective agencies. The Board elects two of its members in June of each year to serve one-year terms as Chairman and Vice Chairman. Each Director has equal voting rights. Board of Directors meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at 8:30 a.m. at the SOCWA Administrative Office. SOCWA also receives input from engineering and finance committees, which are comprised of additional representatives from its 10 member agencies.
