Lake of the Woods operates with a paid staff headed by the General Manager, and a system of advisory committees composed exclusively of unpaid volunteer members of the Association. More than 100 members are so engaged and many serve on more than one committee.

All amenities, or cost centers, are managed by a Cost Center Manager who reports directly to the Office of the General Manager. The Cost Centers are: Golf, Golf Maintenance, Stables, Campgrounds, Roads and Maintenance, Accounting, Administration, Clubhouse, Pools, and Marina.
