The Downtown Vernon Association has a new board of directors.

The 550-member group held its annual general meeting this week.

“The DVA welcomes John Clark of Nixon Wenger LLP to our dynamic Board of Directors,’ says executive director Susan Lehman. “It is an exciting time for the DVA as our Board and staff work strategically and with vision, integrity and dedication to serve our members. I am continually impressed with the high level of engagement and collaboration from our membership. Together we can celebrate the DVA’s vision of a culturally and economically diverse downtown that is a desirable neighborhood for commerce, living and leisure.”

Lehman and the DVA thank Melanie Prince, Krystin Kempton and Cindy Marshall for volunteering their time in the past years to help contribute to the DVA’s success,”and bring their talents and expertise to help further over 50 years of community building in downtown Vernon.”
