Our fall conference will be held Nov. 2 in Richmond. More details and a registration link will be available soon.

Our bylaws were changed a few years ago requiring VPC to only hold a conference in the spring. However, we know the importance of continued professional learning and networking. We continue to strive to offer a fall meeting and occasional meetups throughout the year.

We could also use your help with venues for future conferences. We’ve been fortunate to hold our last several meetings at the University of Richmond where we receive a great discount on meeting space and catering because a few of our members work at the university. But we have members across the Commonwealth, and we’d like to try some other venues. The catch, of course, is that the space needs to be free or low-cost. And, we’d need help finding speakers because we aren’t able to pay for travel. We work hard to keep conference costs low for our members.

Please send suggestions to our professional development chair, Cynthia Price, at cynthiapricecp@gmail.com.
