Board of Park Commissioners
By Ohio law, Five Rivers MetroParks is governed by a three-member volunteer Board of Park Commissioners who are appointed by the Probate Judge of Montgomery County. The Board establishes all policies and rules, approves developments and land acquisition, and controls all funds.

Each Commissioner serves without pay for a three-year term with one member’s term expiring each year. Commissioners can be reappointed for successive terms. Board meetings are held monthly and are open to the public.

Secretary

The Board of Commissioners appoints an Executive Director to carry out MetroParks policies and manage operations. The Executive Director oversees a diverse workforce of more than 300 employees.
