HAF has a five-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Mayor that meets monthly, and as needed, to review and set policy for HAF.
​

Board meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held in-person in the HAF Offices the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 P.M. No meeting is held in December.

​
