Regional Advisory Boards

The VTSF Regional Advisory Boards (RABs) are instrumental in providing a local connection between the Foundation and communities throughout the state. The four boards oversee the review process to select grantees - local organizations and agencies – that will receive funding to implement youth tobacco use prevention programs. Each of the nine boards are comprised of 10-15 representatives and represent different areas of the Commonwealth: North, Southeast, Southwest and Central.

If you are interested in becoming a member of your local Regional Advisory Board, please complete a nomination form.
