The BOS includes a directly elected Chair and seven district elected Supervisors. All are elected to nonpartisan four-year staggered terms. PWC’s FY 2010 total budget is $2,204,300,598 of which 51.5% is allocated to County Schools. PWC employs 3,570 non-school employees. Please visit Prince William County at www.pwcgov.org.

Qualifications include a Bachelor’s degree (Masters preferred) combined with significant successful executive level management experience gained in a large, complex local government comparable to PWC.
