Our Board is a volunteer group of at least 5 but not more than 11 individuals who agree to a three-year term. A majority of the Board must be residents of Nelson County. At least one-third of the Board must be residents of low-income neighborhoods, low income community residents, or elected representatives of low-income neighborhood organizations, and no more than one-third can be representatives of the public sector.
