MISSION STATEMENT
DOVIA Sacramento provides a forum for exchange of information on relevant issues for professional volunteer managers and leaders of volunteers. Through collaborative efforts, DOVIA Sacramento is committed to promoting service and emphasizing professional growth and development of the volunteer administration profession.
Since 1978, DOVIA Sacramento has served to broaden community awareness of volunteerism by furthering communication among DOVIA, its member agencies and institutions, and the general public. Our primary geographic service area consists of Sacramento County. We also invite the greater Sacramento Region agencies to learn with us including El Dorado, Placer, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties.
MEMBERSHIP

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.
