The "Board" refers to the GCD's Board of Directors defined by the The GCD Charter. This nine-member group exists to help set and revise GCD policy, make sure that all of the administrative roles are adequately staffed, and identify problem areas and set up action committees to resolve them. The Board does not handle the day-to-day operations of the GCD but ensures that resources are available and that the project addresses areas of change when needed.
Contacting the Board
All Board activity is recorded and can be found on the gcd-board mailing list.
Questions to the Board can be emailed to the GCD Contact List or posted on the gcd-main mailing list.
Elections & Members

Board Officers
The GCD Charter directs Board members to elect officers as needed from among their membership. At this time, the Board has identified three positions:
- Chairman: Responsible for reading posted messages daily, setting the Board's agenda and arbitrating disputes.
- Secretary: Responsible for initiating Board votes and announcing the results. The Secretary also serves as the Vice Chairman filling in for the Chairman when called upon.
- Treasurer: Responsible for the management of the Project's financial matters. This includes collecting fees, debts, donations, and other monies as well as the disbursement of funds pursuant to Board Policy. The Treasurer is required to report monthly to the Board on the financial status of the Project and act as the official Agent as required by the articles of incorporation in the State of Arkansas.
