The Ben Lomond Village Alliance is led by local volunteers who care deeply about our village and its future. Our Board works alongside committee members, community partners, local businesses and neighbors to advance projects that make Ben Lomond more connected, vibrant and welcoming.

Join the BLVA Board

BLVA is growing—and we’re looking for additional Board members who want to help shape the future of Ben Lomond.

Board members serve an expected two-year term and help guide BLVA’s priorities, strengthen the organization and support projects that benefit the greater Ben Lomond community.

You don’t need previous nonprofit or Board experience to get involved. We welcome people with different backgrounds, perspectives and skills who are collaborative, dependable and excited to contribute.

Board members help:

• Guide BLVA’s priorities and long-term direction
• Participate in Board meetings and organizational decisions
• Support community projects, events and fundraising
• Strengthen relationships with residents, businesses and local partners
• Ensure BLVA’s work reflects the needs and interests of Ben Lomond

Whether you’re interested in community events, local business, beautification, safer streets, fundraising, communications or nonprofit leadership, there may be a place for you.

Grow Your Leadership and Community Connections

Board service is also an opportunity to grow personally and professionally. Members can strengthen their leadership skills, gain hands-on nonprofit experience and build relationships with community members, professional contacts and local leaders.

BLVA is committed to supporting the growth of its Board members through orientation, shared resources, collaboration and opportunities to take meaningful leadership roles within the organization.

Whether you’re interested in community events, local business, beautification, safer streets, fundraising, communications or nonprofit leadership, there may be a place for you.
