A Conservation Authority is managed by board members appointed by the municipalities within its jurisdiction. It is the board members responsibility to represent the views of the citizens within their respective municipalities. In this way, local input into the activities, operations and projects of the Authority is provided.  Cataraqui Conservation has 17 board members appointed by the councils of the 11 municipalities that lie either wholly or partly within the Cataraqui watershed.

Board meetings notices, yearly schedule, agendas reports, and minutes are available on the Full Authority Board Meeting page. The board meets monthly, usually the fourth Wednesday of the month.
