RCIL BOARD Elections
Each year, we welcome fresh perspectives to our leadership team through elections. What matters most is a love for Reynoldstown and a commitment to serve. Board members should value community engagement, focus on resident needs, and bring positivity and critical thinking to complex discussions. Together, we build a collaborative, thoughtful team for our community’s success.
Board Member Commitment
RCIL’s Volunteer Board of Directors is composed of elected Reynoldstown neighbors who are passionate about our community and dedicated to advancing RCIL’s mission and vision. Board members help guide committees, build partnerships, and strengthen the connections that make Reynoldstown such a special place to live.
