Since beginning his tenure as the men's basketball coach in 1998, Gillen has compiled an 86-64 record and was named Men's Basketball Coach of the Year in Virginia by the Richmond Times-Dispatch in 2001.

Chandler is presently senior partner of Chandler, Franklin and O'Bryan and has been included in the "Best Lawyers in America" for the past 20 years.

Ron Huber, Charlottesville's assistant Commonwealth attorney, also was selected for the Board.

The areas encompassed by the Central Virginia Chapter cuts a wide swath through the Commonwealth, stretching from Winchester to Lynchburg.

Board members each will serve a two-year term.
