GAVA began as a coalition-based initiative.  To guide the coalition's decision-making and maintain accountability to the communities we serve, the GAVA coalition created an Advisory Council in 2015, comprised of director-level representatives from our partner organizations and leaders from the resident teams.

While now governed as an independent organization by a board of directors, GAVA’s roots in the interests of the community we serve are held up by an Advisory Council, always comprised of a simple majority of residents and community stakeholders. Votes are taken periodically to endorse various decisions that affect the entire network.
