The LPSNRD Board of Directors consists of 21 directors and meets on the third Wednesday of each month. Directors serve four-year terms, with half of the Board seats up for election every two years. Two directors are elected from each subdistrict (see map linked below) and one director is elected at large. Board members must be a registered voter living in the subdistrict they represent. A primary election is only held in a subdistrict if there are more than two candidates.

A Board Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer are elected by the Board annually from among the Directors. The District operates with some standing and special subcommittees composed of 6-9 directors. At the discretion of the Board, citizen advisory committees may also be formed to assist the Board in dealing with specific projects or activities. Members are appointed and represent a group of people or businesses with particular interests in the project or activity.

Through various means, directors are kept informed about natural resource issues and activities. Every four years (latest in 2019) LPSNRD surveys constituent opinions and perceptions concerning natural resources and LPSNRD.
