The IFLS trustees are appointed by the 10 participating county boards. Trustees can be county board supervisors or citizens designees; either type can serve unlimited three-year terms. Each county is represented by 1-3 trustees, based on county population. Trustees meet six times each year (Jan., March, May, July, Sept. and Nov.) on the fourth Wednesday of the month. All meetings are open to the public and most are held in the IFLS conference room. During the first meeting of the year, the board selects its Executive Committee, which meets six times each year (Feb., April, June, Aug., Oct. and Dec.).
