Committees

The Neighborhood Council Valley Village Board has five committees that do much of the work of the Board and serve as important liaisons to the Board or issues related to the community. Anyone can volunteer to work with the Committees.

Communications

There are many opportunities to volunteer on behalf of NCVV.
