Some of the past and current activity where the LGA has become involved, represented, and influenced decision makers on issues and concerns include: aquatic weed control, community and water safety, environmental issues, fishing quality, water levels, boating safety, county services, government funding, taxes, land and water zoning, and the past relicensing process.
Members of the Lake Gaston Association are represented by a Board of Directors, composed of up to five directors representing each county, of which no more than one position may be filled by an at-large director (a director who is not required to own property in the county he is representing).
One Director in each county serves as the County Coordinator of that county’s Directors. He or she is responsible for organizing and directing the activities of his Directors, including assigning Directors to cover government meetings, writing or reviewing meeting reports to share with LGA members, and meeting as needed to determine plans of action concerning county issues and concerns. The County Coordinator serves on the Government Relations Committee.
Most of the actual work of the LGA is done within its three committees. Lake Environment and Community & Government Relations are operational committees, while Membership & Volunteer Engagement is administrative/support. Committees are composed of Directors and LGA member volunteers.
