The Rivanna River is often referred to as "Mr. Jefferson's River" because Thomas Jefferson grew up on the shores of the Rivanna and later built his Monticello home along its banks. Sharing Mr. Jefferson's appreciation for this historic river, a group of Fluvanna County residents established The Rivanna Conservation Society (RCS) in 1990.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is comprised of the Board officers (president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer) plus an additional Board member at large. This committee is charged with making decisions that affect the governing of the Board, the structure of the organization, the actions of staff members, and other decisions that do not fit neatly into committee actions or than cannot wait until the next Board meeting. The committee and executive director communicate regularly about pertinent issues regarding the governance of RCS.
