</strong><strong>2022 VSBA Legislative Advocacy Conference
September 22, 2022
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Charlottesville </strong></h3>
Now, more than ever, school board member voices need to be heard! The stakes for public education have never been greater and school board members must be prepared to advocate effectively for public schools. Join VSBA at our 2022 Legislative Advocacy Conference where you will gain valuable insight into the issues that promise to have lasting impacts on the Commonwealth. This conference will inform and educate school board members as leaders discuss the Virginia Literacy Act, cyber security reporting requirements, a glimpse into how current events will influence the direction of the 2023 General Assembly, and much more. This conference also includes a training session on FOIA to meet each board member’s required training for elected school board members.

Register today for this exciting and informative conference! This is a hybrid event so you can attend in person or virtually.
