APVA Celebrates

20 Years of Networking & Professional Development

In 1996 volunteer administrators led by Maida Cherry (APVA's founder) came together to begin networking and sharing resources.  This became the APVA and has been a wonderful resource for Volunteer Administrators across Long Island.
