Operations and Governance

GBNF is governed by a board of directors. Six directors are appointed by each of Belhaven Improvement Association and Belhaven Heights Community Association, along with a maximum of 4 at-large members. Work is done through committees focusing on economic restructuring, promotions, operations and design.
