VGEA’s Trusted Lobbyist Takes on Bold New Role

December 3, 2024 – Virginia Governmental Employee Association (VGEA)

Dylan Bishop, VGEA’s dedicated lobbyist and fearless advocate, has taken on an exciting new challenge. As the newly appointed head of Willcox Savage Consulting’s Richmond office, Dylan is poised to bring even greater strength to his advocacy for Virginia’s state employees and retirees.

This milestone marks a major move for Dylan and the highly respected Hampton Roads-based law firm. It’s the firm’s first-ever Richmond office and the launch of their in-house government affairs practice. Yet even as Dylan drives this bold expansion, his commitment to VGEA remains unwavering.

“The opportunity to build something entirely new while continuing the work I’m passionate about was an honor I couldn’t pass up,” Dylan told Richmond BizSense.

Why Dylan’s Leadership Matters

For years, Dylan has been the voice of VGEA members, ensuring their needs and concerns are front and center in legislative and policy conversations. Whether fighting for fair pay, protecting benefits, or tackling regulatory challenges, Dylan has consistently delivered results.

In his new role, Dylan brings even more tools to the table. As a leader at Willcox Savage Consulting, he’ll leverage his extensive legal and lobbying expertise to amplify VGEA’s influence across Virginia. His ability to navigate complex government affairs and regulatory issues positions VGEA members to win bigger than ever.

A Proven Partner in Advocacy

Dylan’s track record speaks for itself. With nearly a decade of experience in government relations, he’s built a reputation as a skilled, results-driven advocate. From his early work with McGuireWoods Consulting to leading roles at KVCF Consulting and Eckert Seamans, Dylan has shown time and again that he knows how to get things done.

Now, with the resources of Willcox Savage behind him, Dylan is ready to expand his impact. But for VGEA members, the most important takeaway is this: Dylan’s leadership continues to put YOU at the center of the conversation.

A Win for VGEA Members

This is a win for VGEA and every state employee and retiree in Virginia. Dylan’s expanded reach and influence mean stronger representation for your needs. His focus on growing the Richmond office and government affairs practice ensures that VGEA remains a leading voice in shaping policies that matter most to you.

Dylan puts it best: “I’ve got big things in mind.”
