About the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is charged with the care and management of Sourcewell, as stated in Minnesota Statute M.S.123A.21, Subd. 4. Sourcewell full-voting members elect our eight-member board. Six are local school board members, and two are elected representatives from member cities, counties, and government agencies within our five-county service area.
