Board - VAEA

VAEA BOARD MEETINGs

Our VAEA board gathered together for the first time for a retreat since January of 2020. Our agenda was a full weekend of collaboration, creative planning and camaraderie. Saturday many shared their efforts and discussed the future calendar plans. Thank you to these wonderful people who sacrificed their time off to gather together to support the mission of VAEA.
Highlights from the meeting and discussions can be found in our Board Minutes.
The VAEA Board Meet Virtually in March to start planning upcoming events on the "Horizon". We have a lot of great things planned for 2023!
