Board Organizational Guidelines

Project details

What we need
  • Review of current board policies and procedures
  • Document outlining best practices for meetings and communication, including cadence and tool recommendations
Additional details

Revision of By-laws to move from a founder-controlled organization to a community organization

What we have in place
  • We currently have Existing By-Laws and possible changes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have limited buy-in from Board members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,610 , allowing us to continue to provide use of facilities to our community

Currently out-of-compliance with By-laws and need clarity

Our mission

The Mission is to enrich the lives of the community and visitors with a rural-tourism experience. RVF aims to foster appreciation and preservation of its natural, historical, ecological, and agricultural resources, and to encourage recreation and a healthy lifestyle in the Rockfish Valley.

What we do

The Rockfish Valley Foundation (RVF) is based in Nelson County, Virginia, near Nellysford.

The facilities at RVF include trails along the Rockfish River, the unique Spruce Creek Park off Glenthorne Loop at 1368 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford with its Children's Nature Trail, Natural History Center and Museum, the Native Plant Walk, and plenty of picnic tables.

RVF sponsors several community-wide events during the year. These events this year have been virtual, but after restrictions are lifted, we will return with our usual events. Although the Natural History Center and Museum is closed due to COVID-19 Pandemic, when restrictions are lifted we will re-open the Center on weekends for visitors
