LEGISLATIVE MEETING & HILL VISIT
VMA Board members, along with other VMA members, gathered in Richmond to discuss the increasingly strong health of the VMA and continue to put plans in place for our 100th Anniversary year.
We received local legislative updates from our Lobbyist, Dale Bennett and national legislative updates from United Motorcoach Association's Vice President, Legislative & Regulatory Affairs & Industry Relations/COO, Ken Presley.
Inspired and with appointments in place the group headed to the state capitol for meet and greets with state delegates and senators.Delegate John Avoli, 20th District generously joined us for our reception and to get to better know members of his home district from Quicks Bus Company.
We also want to offer our thanks to our dinner sponsor, Tom Holden of Transportation Advisors.
Overall, it was a great start to our newly reformed Legislative Meetings. Thank you all for your dedication to VMA and our Virginia travel and tour industry in general!
We hope you will join us for VMA's 2024 Legislative Meeting & Hill Visit.
