LEADERSHIP
The DOVIA Sacramento Board is responsible for implementation of the goals and mission, as well as the continuity and growth, of the DOVIA Sacramento organization. As an all-volunteer 501c3 organization, DOVIA Sacramento's success and viability depends on the time and effort of its Board and Committees. Board members are drawn from the membership at large. Committee members are drawn from both the membership at large and the community at large.
The Board, consisting of the Executive Board and Committee Chairs, meets the first Tuesday of every month (3-5 pm PT) to oversee business, membership, and education activities. Committee meetings are held at dates and times as determined by their respective chairs.
In July 2020 DOVIA added more than 10 new leadership opportunities to expand our ability to better serve our members and to address some of the challenges presented to the volunteer management sector by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please considering volunteering to assume one of the new or open leadership opportunities listed below.
