Board of Directors

YAV Board Members Marty Einhorn, N. Brooks Gornto, Tricia Allgood, Minette Cooper and Deb Butler at our January 2010 Board Retreat led by Jane Short.

Every day we work to foster the creative development of children through the arts. We do this through a strategic partnership that includes: talented performing artists, passionate teaching artists, a dedicated and highly qualified staff, educators and administrators who believe in the power of the arts, as well as generous and committed individuals, foundations, corporations and municipal funders. But none of this would be possible without the support and advocacy of community members who volunteer to serve on our Board of Directors.

If you think you might be interested in serving on our State Board or our Richmond or Roanoke Advisory Boards, please contact Executive Director, Bill Griggs at billgriggs@yav.org.
