The leadership of the Central MN Chapter of the Climate Project is elected annually from the current membership of the chapter. Leadership responsibilities are currently divided between operations, presentations and outreach activities, with a designated co-chair leading each group.

Co-chairs are chosen from the membership, and have completed the Climate Reality Leadership training. Co-chairs have additional responsibilities including communication with the main Climate Reality Project organization, chairing the official monthly chapter meetings, and developing the strategic plan for the coming year.
