Board of Directors 2008-2009

Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity has thirteen Board Members at present. There are no paid staff. We depend on volunteers from the Board membership to pick up the mail and check messages left on our voice mail; return calls to persons requesting information and route messages to board or committee members. We have volunteers from local churches, Grand Forks Air Base personnel and many individuals in our community participating in Habitat activities.
