Jump to the Post-Event Survey

Richmond, VA – The Virginia Governmental Employees Association (VGEA) wrapped up its Annual Meeting on Saturday, September 9, 2023, marking yet another milestone in its commitment to the state’s employees and retirees.

Held at the Bon Air Baptist Church in Richmond, we heard from lobbyist, Dylan Bishop, who provided invaluable insights into the latest legislative developments and a forecast for 2024. Special guests from the Department of Human Resources Management (DHRM) and the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) also shared their expertise, tips, resources, and current state of affairs.

Looking Ahead to 2024

We’re already thinking about our next big event – the Legislative Day at the Capitol in Richmond. We won’t know the exact date until after the beginning of the year as the legislative schedule becomes clear, but this event promises to be another significant opportunity for VGEA members to voice their concerns, learn about legislative developments, and actively shape the future of Virginia’s governmental workforce.

Pre-registration for next year’s Annual Meeting is now open, and when you sign up, we’ll make sure you get all of the details you need. Go to vgea.org/events to sign up!

We’re on a mission to keep the momentum going, and with the continued support and dedication of our members, there’s no doubt that we’ll keep making great things happen.
