HAVA is the only Houston association made up of a wide variety of staff, administrators, coordinators, consultants and volunteers who come together, monthly, for common training needs and to network among their peers. Our current membership base consists of 120 volunteer administrators representing 75 Houston/Harris County area agencies and individual consultants. HAVA's membership period is by calendar year.
