The Board has begun the process of developing guidelines for the new Historian Committee and Committee Chair. We need to start looking to the future; to the legacy of the BVA. There are a lot of projects going on, and places honoring and remembering our Marines, Sailors and all our service men and women: Those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, and all those that served our great Nation.
Nominations of Members in good standing for the Board of Directors will open on July 1st and close September 30th. More info will follow, but all pre-covid procedures will be followed per our By-laws.
