VGFOA to Offer Regional Events/Programs |
The VGFOA is implementing
a new initiative to develop regional programs and events.
This effort is designed to bring educational and networking
opportunities to a greater number of our members. The
first regional event was held in the Central Region.
In order to KICK-OFF the effort in Central Virginia, a
social event was held at the Richmond Braves game on
Thursday May 29, 2008. As additional regional events
are added a calendar of regional events will be added to the
website. You can view details about the first
Central Regional Event
