Board Membership

To Apply:
Members of the MVCMA Board make policy and operational decisions concerning the Association.

Because the MVCMA has a small paid staff, members of the Board are also called upon to assist the MVMCA Staff in the management and operation of the MVCMA’s daily operations, particularly during the busy summer months.

Eligibility: As a private foundation, members of the MVCMA Board are selected by existing members of the board from among those who have applied to join the board. Consistent with the MVCMA’s history and tradition, the current bylaws require 2/3 of the 21 members of the Board to be members in good standing of an established Christian church or Jewish synagogue.  Otherwise, anyone willing to serve and to fulfill the fiduciary duties of a member of the Board is eligible to serve. Board members are usually leaseholders, who maintain a cottage in the MVCMA Campgrounds, but this is not necessary to be elected to the Board. The MVCMA Articles of Incorporation and its current bylaws are available here.
Applications for an open position on the MVCMA Board are solicited in July and August. Applicants are asked to submit an application form and to attend a reception to get acquainted with current members of the Board, usually in mid-August.

  • Downloadable Application Form - available here. Please email office@mvcma.org or deliver to the MVCMA Office by August 17, 2020 (office closes at 4:00 p.m.)

    If you would like a blank form printed for you to pick up at the office, please email: office@mvcma.org
