Board Member
| Our board | The Venice on Vine board falls somewhere between a working board and an advisory board. We are a board of retirees, corporate people, non-profit people, education people, but we all feel a passion for the work being done by the staff, trainees, and volunteers of Venice. We want to do our best to contribute support to those endeavors. |
