VGEA Prepares to Host 2023 Annual Meeting (9/9/23)

RICHMOND, VA – The Virginia Governmental Employees Association (VGEA) is set to host its eagerly anticipated Annual Meeting on Saturday, September 9, 2023. Every year, the Annual Meeting promises to be an enlightening convergence of some of Virginia’s most dedicated workers and retirees.
