GVA ACCOMPLISHMENTS
|
The members of board of the Great Valley Association attend and participate in state, local, and civic meetings that affect the Great Valley. The pertinent information is discussed, options are developed and disseminated to the membership. Based on the responses of the members, GVA positions are presented to the appropriate parties. The most important role of the GVA is to inform the residents of the Great Valley on matters that effect the quality of life in our neighborhood.
Although not all members will be in agreement with all GVA positions, each member will enjoy the opportunity to influence the result and to participate in a united front to assure the quality of life in the Great Valley.
