The 2022 session of the Virginia General Assembly convenes at noon on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. The VSBA Government Relations team is advocating for our members and legislative positions in person for the first time since 2020. We are excited to be back in Richmond but will still need your help in answering Legislative Action Alerts and talking to your legislative delegations about important legislation being considered by the general assembly.
As much as we enjoy fighting on your behalf, we realize that you are the most effective advocates for education in the Commonwealth. If you haven’t already, we strongly encourage you to contact your legislators and educate them on positions of importance to you and the VSBA. To that end, we want to make sure you are aware of several tools that will help you stay on top of everything going on.Below is the link to resources for our members to help with advocacy:

We hope to see you virtually at our 2022 VSBA Capital Conference on January 24 and 25. The second day of the Conference is focused on visits with your elected members of the General Assembly. We would encourage you to schedule those meetings now if you haven’t already.
If you have questions regarding VSBA’s work at the General Assembly, you may contact VSBA Chief Lobbyist, Stacy Haney, at shaney@haneyphinyo.com or VSBA Government Relations Specialist JT Kessler at jason@vsba.org.
Finally, be sure to check back regularly and monitor VSBA on Facebook and Twitter daily for real time information from the general assembly, as well as responding to any Legislative Action Alerts from the VSBA Government Relations team.
Thank you for all you do on behalf of public education in the Commonwealth!
