Organization
Organization of the Southern Plains Network revolves around two entities: the Board of Directors and The Technical Committee. Both of these committees were established by the network charter.
The Board of Directors provides oversight and ensures individual park participation in the inventory and monitoring planning process. It makes all final decisions regarding the network. The board of directors is comprised of three Superintendents from network parks that each serves a three-year term on a rotational basis, the chair of the Technical Committee who serves a two-year term, and the Network Coordinator and Intermountain Regional I&M Coordinator who are both permanent board members. In addition there are two advisory, non-voting members from the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) and the Gulf Coast CESU.
- Chris Moos – Superintendent, Capulin Volcano NM (Chair)
- Bruce Bingham – Intermountain Regional I&M Coordinator
- Kevin McMurry – Superintendent, Fort Larned
- Steve Burrough – Resource Management, Washita Battlefield NHS (Technical Member)
- Cindy Ott-Jones – Superintendant, Bent's Old Fort NHS
- Dusty Perkins – Network Coordinator, Southern Plains Network

The Technical Committee is the primary functioning body with responsibility for general program planning and implementation. The technical committee is comprised of one natural resource, or appointed staff member from each of the 11 network parks. All are permanent members of the committee. The chair position rotates every two years.
