NRVC Board
NRVC Board
The National Board ensures the implementation of the NRVC goals, objectives, and policies, overseeing the functioning of the NRVC. The National Board is composed of 8-12 members and the ex-officio who serves as a non-voting member of the Board. The National Office oversees the daily operation of the organization and is accountable to the National Board.
The term of office for a Board member is three years, serving no more than two consecutive terms. By the spring of each year, the National Board selects new members from those recommended by the membership to bring particular skills to the Board and to help ensure a balance of gender, geographic, and cultural representation.
The responsibilities of the National Board are:
Nominations for the NRVC Board are open, and you are invited to prayerfully consider applying to serve by completing a self-recommendation or by nominating another NRVC member to serve on the National Board beginning in the Fall of 2025. Each NRVC member may submit one recommendation for the Board.
At its spring meeting, the National Board selects new members for a three-year term from the recommendations. The Board seeks to bring skills and experience to the Board to help ensure a balance of gender, geographical, and cultural representation and to image the breadth and diversity of religious consecration in the Church through its new appointments.
The National Board will meet April 9-13, 2025 in Mesilla Park, NM, and September 8-12, 2025, in Chicago, IL.
