Board of Trustees
The Washington Colony Cemetery District is governed by a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by Fresno County Supervisors (Districts 1 and 4). Trustees are registered voters residing within the District, responsible for setting policies, establishing goals, adopting regulations, and serving as custodians of District property.
Trustees serve staggered four-year terms, act independently from the County, and represent the public interest. Trustees do not receive per diem compensation but receive monthly vision insurance coverage.
