Join VLGMA Today
By Tim Fitzgerald, VLGMA Second Vice President
As local government managers continue to work through the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and endure the uncertainty and unforeseen issues that we simply have never faced before, it is more important than ever to be a part of the VLGMA family.
If you are currently a VLGMA member, thank you for your continued support. If your membership has lapsed, please consider rejoining. And, certainly, if you know a colleague that could benefit from a VLGMA membership, please let them know of the many benefits that VLGMA provides. These benefits are what brought me to VLGMA. I have found over the years that having access to career support through senior advisors and career coaching programs has proven priceless when I am in need of some sound advice and direction. The excellent professional development programs at our annual summer and winter conferences and our Deputies, Assistants, and Others programs have provided me with great timely content, but also the opportunity to network with fellow managers from across the state as well. I would encourage you to join today!
VLGMA has made it easier than ever to join with several recent changes to membership options that you may not have heard about.
VLGMA offers a free year of membership for any manager, administrator, deputy, or assistant who is new to Virginia or who has never been a member of VLGMA (this applies only to the “member” category).
If a manager or administrator is from a community with a population of 2,500 or less, the “member” category dues are capped at $160.
VLGMA caps dues at $500 for those in the “member” category whose calculated dues would exceed $500.
VLGMA offers two categories of organizational membership as well: standard organizational membership (up to 5 individuals) for $1,000 and large organizational membership (up to 10 individuals) for $1,800.
