Advisory Board

Saint Vincent Academy Advisory Board
The SVA Advisory Board was established in 1982, much to the benefit of the Academy. Board members provide leadership and direction in public and community relations and fundraising. The board meets on a regular basis to discuss objectives and strategies for meeting the financial burdens of the school. The Friends in Concert event and the Baltusrol Golf Outing are achievements of the Advisory Board.
