The LNNLRCD Board of Directors is comprised of 5 landowners within the district. To be on the board, you must be a resident in the taxing district and a registered voter. The board member terms last for five years and become due to expire in a staggered pattern so that each year only one board member's position will expire. At that time, the existing board member, as well as any other interested parties, must apply at the County Clerk's office at the Ogle County Courthouse and be interviewed for the new term.

Applications for normal end of terms should be in by the end of March as the position officially starts on May 1st.

This same process will apply for a position that is open midterm. Watch the local newspapers and the bulletin boards at the front entrances to Lost Lake and Lost Nation for any openings.

Board meetings are open to the public and occur on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
