About Us: FMVA is a project-oriented organization comprised of various committees dedicated to specific topics such as safety, education, historical preservation, and research. FMVA meetings are held bi-monthly starting in January and will be on the last Friday of the month at 7:00pm Eastern Time. All meetings will have a virtual component, in addition to the physical meeting location, allowing people from across the community to attend. Locations are TBD due to COVID-19, but meetings when they restart will alternate between two different locations within the state to allow the spread out members to attend some meeting.
Meetings for the remainder of 2020 will be held on Zoom.
Social Media: Check us out on our website, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts.
