Our ACCS-VA Board Members

About the Advisory Board

The Advisory Board consists of 8-10 members, approved by the membership at the annual meeting during the conference. Members shall serve for a three-year term with staggered elections of new members to maintain continuity. There shall be an effort to replace no more than four retiring Board members in any one year. It is the Board’s hope that in filling vacancies, every attempt is made to ensure representation from both public and private institutions, as well as both small colleges and large universities.

Nominations for service on the Advisory Board shall be accepted from among the general membership throughout the year. Board members should be exemplars of support for the mission and goals of the organization, integrity, and respect for others. Board members will be expected to participate in all aspects of activities sponsored by the Advisory Board.
