We Want You
The committees of Valley Lakes are made of
volunteers interested in serving and bettering their
community. They provide valuable experience, insight and
advice to the board and management. Each committee is
sanctioned by the board and is responsible for a
specific area of interest as outlined in their
organizational charter. There is no better way to serve
your community than becoming a volunteer of one of our
committees. To make a difference, call the office at
