About the Board
Structure
GRTC operates under policies set by its Board of Directors, which consists of nine members (three from each jurisdiction) representing the City of Richmond, Chesterfield County, and Henrico County. Members are appointed by their jurisdiction. Each member serves a one-year term. Members are eligible to serve multiple years with each annual appointment.
Board meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month, unless otherwise noted. See the Board Reports page for meeting details and location. Board meetings are open to the public.
Board Committees
To ensure GRTC’s Board of Directors fully exercises their governance and oversight over operations and management of GRTC, the Board of Directors established Board Committees. The committees are aligned with the functional organization of GRTC and serve to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of monthly Board Meetings.
Committee Structure
Board Committees are composed of five members of the Board of Directors and include a senior staff liaison as a non-voting member for technical support.
Each committee nominates and elects a Committee Chair who is responsible for the committee agenda. The Committee Chair coordinates with the staff liaison. The staff liaison is responsible for reporting Committee discussions and recommended actions to the full Board of Directors. Two directors represent a quorum. Board-appointed committees and subcommittees comply with the open meeting requirements of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
