The Commission serves 27 municipalities, local groups such as river advisory committees, economic development councils, housing organizations and others who affect the future land use of the region. 

The Commission is governed by Commissioners appointed by member communities and counties and a small number of at-large-members. It is the Commissioners' role to be a regional collaborator and bring local issues to the attention of the Commission and conversely to articulate regional strategies that can benefit local efforts.
