About the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors

The State of California is divided into 54 District Agricultural Associations. The Del Mar Fairgrounds and Horsepark equestrian facility are operated by the 22nd District Agricultural Association on behalf of the State.

The 22nd DAA is governed by a nine-member board, all appointed by the Governor of the State of California. Each serves a four-year term. The Board meets on the second Tuesday of every month except July. The Board appoints a General Manager/CEO charged with the day-to-day operation of the facilities.

Three members of the 22nd DAA Board also sit on the Race Track Authority and Race Track Leasing Commission. The 22nd DAA’s CEO and CFO act as the Authority’s Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The RTA and RTLC meet twice a year, once at the beginning of the year and once in the summer.

Agendas for the 22nd DAA board, RTA and RTLC meetings are posted on this website in the "Press Releases" section, approximately 10 days before each meeting.
