Regional Board
The Regional District is governed by an elected Board of 19 Directors. There are eight members on the Board representing the City of Nanaimo, two members representing the City of Parksville, one member each for the Town of Qualicum Beach and the District of Lantzville, and one for each of the RDN's seven Electoral Areas. The RDN Board has two standing committees - The Electoral Area Services Committee and The Committee of the Whole.
