Board of Directors 

RIF of NOVA's board members are former teachers and librarians, small-business owners and authors, parents and grandparents. They bring a wide variety of experience to the job of getting books into the hands of children in Northern Virginia.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee meet five times a year: September, November, January and March, with a luncheon meeting in May or June. Please contact us if you're interested in becoming a volunteer board member.
