The Roanoke Diversity Center operations and programs function successfully due to the hard work of our committees, individual project managers, and volunteers that organize, stage and execute every event, forum, and operational task. Committees are Chaired by a sitting Board Member and complete tasks with the help of our Project Managers (Current Board or appointed Advisory Board Members) and many Volunteers. While Committee Chairs and Project Managers must be sitting Board Members/Advisory Board Members according to our bylaws volunteers are welcomed to sit on a committee and or play a vital role in any project, event or program. We welcome members of our community to reach out to a Committee Chair or Project Manager and get involved.
