Commissioners,one each from the five counties included in the district and two at-large positions
typically filled by Lewis and Thurston counties. This is an unpaid position, although travel and
board-related expenses are reimbursable.
The TRL Board of Trustees attend monthly meetings and scheduled events,Mason County library

Wednesday interferes with conferences or holidays, the meeting is held on the third or fifth
Wednesday. There are typically six meetings a year held in Olympia and six meetings held in other
areas of the district.
