The IRC Executive Board is a 5-person board that oversees the Independence Recreation Commission. The primary responsibilities of the IRC Board are to create policies and oversee the financial transactions/budget for the IRC. IRC Board Members serve staggered 4-year terms. Two members are appointed by the City of Independence. Two members are appointed by USD 446 School Board. The 5th position is an at-large position selected by the IRC Board Members who have been appointed through the City and School District Board.

IRC Board Meetings are held at 11:30am on the third Wednesday of each month at the Ash Youth Center.

These meetings are subject to the Kansas Opens Meetings ACT or KOMA and are always open for the public to attend. Any meeting schedule changes will be posted in the Independence Daily Reporter.
