The ACVA staff prides itself on answering questions and responding to comments from its members and the community. We're always ‘in the know' about current community news. Please do not hesitate to contact us whenever we can be of help.
The ACVA is governed by a board of 18 governors who represent Alexandria's broad spectrum of restaurants, retailers, attractions and historic preservation, hotels, trade and professional associations and the City government. The members of the Board of Governors meet monthly to discuss the strategies and actions of the ACVA staff.
