NOVAA is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. Board of Directors serve a minimum one-year term from July-June, and board members support the NOVAA committees and workgroups that guide the organization.
All members are encouraged to take their turn to serve on the Board of Directors. Not only will you support NOVAA and the volunteer leader community, but serving on a board of a nonprofit is a great resume and experience builder.
