Geocouncil members represent the many facets of geotourism including community leadership, public lands management, food and hospitality sectors, historic preservation, natural resources conservation, indigenous peoples, traditional and local arts, agriculture, tourism promotion, and others.
 

There is an overarching Sierra Nevada Wide Geocouncil, and Local Geocouncils for each phase area. The role of the Sierra Nevada Wide Geocouncil is to guide the overall vision of the project, sustain the project into the future, and encourage long-term stewardship of the region’s natural, historic and cultural assets. Each Local Geocouncil encourages community participation in the nomination process, works to ensure nominations reflect the diversity of the region, and selects the nominations for final review by the National Geographic Society.
