Join the Board of Directors

The DOVIA Colorado Board of Directors is a working board –> We are a group of dedicated volunteers who steer the organization and complete the day-to-day work needed for its programs. While this may sound like an impossible load, the team is very dedicated to breaking it down by committees with additional volunteer support, and we deeply respect each person’s work/life balance.  We welcome folks from all backgrounds, including those who are not in the Volunteer Management field.  Specifically, we are on the look-out to diversify our team, both in terms of professional and personal experiences, in order to better serve our mission.
