Board of Directors

The Steel Valley Authority Board of Directors is made up of 3 citizen delegates from each of our 12 member municipalities: Clairton, Duquesne, East Pittsburgh, Glassport, Homestead, McKeesport, Munhall, Rankin, Swissvale, Turtle Creek, West Homestead, and the City of Pittsburgh. Board members are appointed by Borough Councils or by the City's Mayor. The Board of Directors meets 5 times per year on the third Wednesday of January, March, May, September, and November.  The Board provides financial direction for the agency and is responsible for providing assistance in raising funds for the SVA.  Direct participation in fundraising is absolutely necessary in order to ensure the survival of the Authority.

The Board is responsible for the decisions that are agreed to at Board meetings and the decisions will be made in a responsible manner, reflecting legal and moral responsibility.  Board members must follow conflict of interest and confidentiality policies.
