Our Team

A Community Land Trust is governed by a democratically elected tripartite Board of Directors, with one-third leaseholder members (residents or workers on CLT land), one-third general community members from the service area, and one-third public members who bring additional expertise. BVCLT follows this structure to ensure balanced representation and accountability.

While the Board sets vision and policy, staff implement the work supporting organizing, cooperative development, acquisitions, and long-term stewardship in alignment with the community’s direction.
