LVCCM is governed by a local secretariat, which acts much like a board of directors, but also has characteristics of a cabinet, in that each secretariat member has specific responsibilities. These are volunteer positions; new members are chosen by the existing secretariat from active community members and serve 3-year terms. Current members of the secretariat and their areas of responsibility are listed below.
