The Grand Valley Trail was built and maintained through a large network of volunteer maintenance workers who ensure a strong and safe trail system. A volunteer Board of Directors administers this not-for-profit organization and therefore we would not exist if not for our enthusiastic volunteers. As Vice-President, you assist the GVTA president in fulfilling the association's current priorities.
Strong interpersonal skills, knowledge of the GVTA trail, excellent organizational, planning and delegation skills is necessary.
