Hello Events Committee!

I wanted to update you all on the progress we are making as a board and the changes that are coming as a result. Chris Coleman and David Semanco will be taking over as chairs of this committee, and we are combining the Education Committee with this committee since many of our events are educational and require CE work in the background.

Traditionally, we have held monthly meetings, which will continue, but I will let Chris and David decide what date and time is best.

We are planning to increase our events over the next year, and we hope that you will help us create a full and exciting calendar for our members while also ensuring it can be executed and offered professionally. With VSIAS planning and nearly launched, we look to Mobilize Recovery, Overdose Awareness Day, a training event TBD in November, and the Winter Academy in January as well as March 2026 in Richmond for the Annual Meeting and Training!

?

I will continue to work with you all regularly and am grateful for your commitment to the important volunteer work of this association.?

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing each of you soon!

Jess
