VAWP prides itself as being a grassroots, member driven organization. The Annual Meeting is the members' opportunity to hear from the Board about the status of the organization's finances and marketing initiatives as well as their chance to weigh in on where they want the organization to move forward over the next year. Don't miss your chance to participate in your organization.
VAWP recently launched a new website with more member options than ever. Come to the annual meeting and learn how to utilize the great new tools within this site to maximize your membership and drive traffic back to your own site.
We will also be discussing what the membership wants VAWP to focus on in the coming year and where discretionary funds should be allocated. Don't miss out on the discussion!
