The San Miguel Watershed Coalition governance structure includes a 25-person stakeholder committee representing the diverse interests and geographies from the entire million-acre watershed.

The Stakeholder Committee identifies watershed needs and projects for the Coalition to pursue, and provides valuable partnerships on watershed initiatives. The Committee elects three officers who serve on the Coalition Board of Directors.
