2020 Virginia Political Outlook Luncheon

Join us as we start the new year with our annual presentation from Bob Holsworth of DecideSmart, reviewing the year of politics in Virginia, and giving us a glimpse of what we can expect in the year to come.

"How to Get the Most Out of Your VSAE Membership"

Before the luncheon, we'll gather to review all that your VSAE membership has to offer, including the Association Leadership Virginia program, the CAE study group, and more! 

"Stumps & Stars"

Join this legislative meeting where Executive members can share legislative positions with each other and find other members that can support them. Participants will have five (5) minutes to present their pre-submitted one-page information piece identifying the issue supported (Star) or the issue of concern (Stump). Submissions must be received by D. Walton ([email protected]) no later than noon on Thursday, Jan. 2.
