CALL TO CONVENTION – 2025 ANNUAL CONVENTION
VIRGINIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS
Theme – Empower. Engage. Educate.
Dear VSAP Members, Family, and Friends,
As the vibrant colors of spring paint the landscapes of Virginia, we find ourselves on the cusp of another season filled with opportunities for growth, connection, and learning. It is with immense pleasure that I extend to you an invitation to the Virginia State Association of Parliamentarians (VSAP) 2025 Annual Convention, set to take place on May 3-4, 2025, in the historic waterfront city of Newport News, Virginia.
This year, we are galvanized by the theme “Empower. Engage. Educate.” — three powerful words that encapsulate our mission and promise for this gathering. This succinct mantra not only highlights our dedication to mastering parliamentary procedure but also reflects our commitment to fostering a community where every member is empowered, engaged, and educated.
I am excited to announce an array of sessions and workshops designed to enhance your skills and deepen your understanding of parliamentary law. These gatherings are more than just meetings; they are platforms for transformation and enlightenment, aimed at enhancing our abilities to lead and govern with efficacy and honor.
Our convention is an occasion to celebrate our shared dedication to the principles of democracy and good governance. It is a time to reconnect with colleagues, welcome newcomers into our fold, and build lasting relationships that strengthen our community.
Join me in Newport News for a compelling and enriching experience. Together, we will empower our minds, engage our spirits, and educate our community, continuing to shine as beacons of excellence in the practice of parliamentary procedure.
I look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable weekend of learning and fellowship.
Warmest regards,
/s/Donald Garrett
