Our Structure
LCCLT, Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors with a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, which currently meets on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 10-11am. Operations and maintenance are divided among five committees and a number of subcommittees. Board and committee meetings are open to anyone who wishes to participate. We want your input and ideas!
Board of directors
Board and Officer elections take place at our Annual Corporate Meeting every spring. Board members may also be elected at any Board meeting with a quorum present, and may resign at any time. Anyone who has attended three or more Board meetings is eligible to join. All corporate officers must be first elected to the Board. Terms of office are one year with President, Vice-President and Secretary being limited to two consecutive terms, Treasurer to three consecutive terms. Other Board members have no term limits. Officers may re-join the Board after a minimum one-year interim. Want to join a Board Meeting to start the process? Email info@LCCLT.org or just come on down!

Fundraising and planning are needed to make this a reality.

Supervises the Programming Coordinator, contractor, to ensure scheduling, publicity, planning, etc. are executed. A subcommittee is Events (traditions such as Easter egg hunts, pumpkin carving, potlucks, drum circles, etc.).
COMMUNICATIONs
The Communications Committee (in partnership with the Programming Coordinator, contractor) is responsible for any and all communication between the Land Trust and its various overlapping communities. This includes our social media, our email list, the bulletin board, signage, event posters, print collaterals, our monthly page in the Lake Claire Clarion, this website, and other digital or traditional communications. Subcommittees include Outreach, IT and Signage. We are currently working on a grant funded overhaul of signage around the property.
