The GRF board of directors are elected by members of the three mutual housing boards and serve three-year overlapping terms. Approximately one third of the board seats are filled during an annual election. Board members of the mutual housing corporations exercise the voting power for electing members of the GRF board.
GRF board meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the board room of the Community Center, located at 24351 El Toro Road, Laguna Woods, CA 92637.
