Board of Commissioners
About the Board
GMT is governed by a 14-member Board of Commissioners with two commissioners representing Burlington and one commissioner from Essex Town, Essex Junction, Hinesburg, Milton, Shelburne, South Burlington, Winooski, Williston, Washington County, Franklin County, Lamoille County, and Grand Isle County. Each Chittenden County commissioner is appointed to the GMT Board by their municipality. Commissioners representing Washington, Franklin, Lamoille, and Grand Isle Counties are appointed by the Regional Planning Commission in that county. Seats are held for a 3-year term. Commissioners set organization goals annually and these long-term goals guide the General Manager of GMT and the priorities of the Authority for that Fiscal Year.
The GMT Board of Commissioners meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Meetings are held at GMT’s administrative office at 101 Queen City Park Road in Burlington at 7:30 AM. The public is welcome to attend these meetings and offer comments about GMT’s services.
