The Board of Directors is the governing body of the Walnut Creek Open Space Foundation. It consists of no more than twenty one members, chosen from the general membership, to serve for two-year terms. No director may serve more than three consecutive terms, but may be renominated after a period of at least one year following their last date of service on the Board. The directors are the only voting members of the organization.

Board of Directors for 2008-9

Retired directors are appointed to the Advisory Board, if they so wish, to serve without term limits. In this manner, the expertise of the former members can be called upon when needed; but they have no vote on affairs of the Foundation.

Advisory Board

As a group, the directors are outdoor enthusiasts concerned about the dwindling availability of open space and natural diversity in central Contra Costa County. Their backgrounds are eclectic, including science, teaching, engineering, law and corporate management. Their recreational activities range from hiking and bicycling to restoring oaks and other native vegetation, as well as wildlife habitat, on Walnut Creek's open space areas. All the directors are dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the city's priceless open spaces.
