On July 1, 1966, a Board of Directors was formed to govern the RMA. The Board consists of 11 members. Six are appointed by the mayor of the City of Richmond, with the approval of the Richmond City Council. The Boards of Supervisors of Chesterfield and Henrico Counties each appoint two members, and one ex-officio member is appointed by the Commonwealth of Virginia Transportation
Commissioner. In addition to the 11 board members, the RMA is assisted by a Secretary and General Counsel who takes the minutes of the meetings and provides legal assistance as needed.
