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. The DelVal Board must authorize all payments of DelVal's funds, approve the origination of all Loans, approve the issuance of all debt obligations, and authorize any interest rate swap transactions.
