The MVTA Directors contribute to the association's activities by bringing the mission, vision and strategic directions to life. This includes organizational planning, policy and by-law review, contributing to working groups, financial planning, and high-level decision-making. Successful directors are organized, thoughtful, critical thinkers with the ambition to advocate for, and create meaningful change within the profession. Not sure if this is for you?
