Board of Directors
The ACVB Board of Directors represents 10 membership categories. There is also an “At Large” board member category. Directors are elected by the membership in the first quarter of each year to serve three-year terms.
The members of the Board of Directors donate their time and talents to promote the community to visitors for the benefit of the entire membership. The Board is comprised of representatives from ACVB’s membership, including the public and private sectors. The President & CEO serves as a non-voting member, as well.
