Samband Officers - Now and Then

The officers of the Valdres Samband are responsible for planning and managing all of the activities of the Valdres Samband.  They are the "engine" that keeps the Samband running smoothly and allows it to provide so many great opportunities for our members to explore their Valdres roots.  We offer our thanks for their dedication and the thousands of hours of volunteer time their service represents.

Your assistance is always appreciated, and we encourage you to consider an active role in the Samband!
