DelVal Board and Administration
Each year, on a rotating basis, one of the four Counties that created DelVal (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties) appoints a Director with a 5-year term to the DelVal Board. The Board holds an Agenda Meeting and a Public Meeting monthly, normally on the second Monday of each month. Officers are appointed annually at the Board's January reorganization meeting.
