Virginia SSA Board of Directors

We are always looking for new ways for our members to participate and become more involved with the Association. The Board of Directors directs and informs us on issues occurring in the self storage community at the state level. They also advise us on the annual meeting, providing ideas and feedback on education and location. We would like to hear your ideas and suggestions! If you are interested in serving on the VASSA Board of Directors please contact us.
