About the VU Board

The VU board is made of 11 board members and we are electing 4 this year. We also have several high school students who join us for board meetings and help with events. The VU board of directors is a three year term beginning at the first board meeting in January.

Currently, we hold our meetings at 7am on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at Windsor Manor. Each board member is asked to be a part of at least one of our 5 committees: Membership, Community Affairs, Business Promotions, Industry & Development, and Destination Vinton. You're welcome to be a part of more than one if you'd like and you DON'T have to be a board member to take part in these committees! We'd love everyone's help!

Each committee meets once a month and then reports back to the board at the monthly meeting. There is already a lot going on with each of the committees, but we can always use more input, ideas, and help!

Please let me know if you have questions or would like more information. I'd be happy to answer any questions, or feel free to talk with one of our current board members!
