Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
The six-member Board of Supervisors is the decision-making body in Albemarle County. The Board meets on the first and second Wednesdays of each month, with the first meeting held during the day and the second at night. The Board generally meets in Lane Auditorium.
Each member of the Board is elected from one of the County's six magisterial districts. Supervisors are elected for four-year terms, staggered at two-year intervals, so that only three Supervisors are up for re-election at any given time.

The Board selected David Slutzky as its new chair and Ann Mallek as its vice chair at its first meeting of the year on January 7, 2009.
