As an independent non-profit organization, TPCDC is governed by a volunteer board of directors that meets monthly. Meetings are held on Monday evenings. Meetings generally occur at 8 PM on Zoom, except for three times/year when meetings are held in-person at 6:15 PM. All community members are welcome at the public portion of the meetings (at 6:15 or 8 PM) to share thoughts or concerns or to ask questions. The 2026-2027 meeting schedule is still being determined.
