Get Involved
Join a TACVB Committee
TACVB offers many ways to get involved. Our mission as an organization is successful because of the contributions of time, talent, and the expertise of our members. TACVB's committees provide a way for members to help shape the direction of our association. All committees meet via conference call and share information via email to be respectful of committee members' time.
