Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is a 9-member board elected to 3-year staggered terms at the annual meeting in May.  At the 2023 annual meeting in May, 2023,  Phil Hynes, Ty Poster and Galen Shirey, were re-elected to another 3-year term.  Officers were reelected to the same positions previously held at the organizational and regular board meeting held following the annual meeting.

The dedicated individuals of the Board of Directors have expended countless hours working on trail development, maintenance, administration and promotion.  We are grateful to them and all of our volunteers who make the trail possible and a wonderful asset for Redbank Valley and the entire area.

We were very sad to report the death of Board Member Chuck Marsh in late January 2022. Chuck had been a dedicated Board Member since 2015 and was instrumental in the development and improvement of the Sligo Spur.  The Board voted to name the Cherry Run Bridge in his honor.  Anyone willing to contribute to RVTA in his memory is appreciated.  Diane Corsini was appointed by the Board of Directors to fill the remainder of Chuck’s term at the April 2022 Board meeting.
