The Construction Authority is governed by an eight-member board of directors. Five members are voting members, while three are non-voting. Each member is appointed by a city or other government entity, as directed in the legislation that created the agency, SB1847. Click here for meeting schedules, agendas and location details.

In addition, cities from South Pasadena to Ontario are represented on two advisory boards to the Construction Authority – the Joint Powers Authority (comprised of elected official representatives appointed by each city) and Technical Advisory Committee (comprised of city managers or their staff appointees).
