Dear State Conference Participants:
On behalf of VASSP, Virginia Department of Education, and Virginia Foundation for Educational Leadership, as well as our corporate sponsors Herff Jones, Virginia Lottery, Jostens, and Lifetouch, we would like to thank you once more for your contribution to the success of this year's Virginia Middle and High School Principals Conference & Exposition. Our highest priority is to provide stimulating meeting programs, an environment for sharing data, generating ideas and initiating collaborations, and a platform for launching life-long relationships.
In speaking for the entire staff and VASSP board of directors we are proud of the state conference and the reputation that it has earned since its inception 90 years ago! While we work diligently to provide a well-organized forum for professional growth, skills development and networking to take place, the true value comes from the subject matter experts bring as speakers and instructors, the support of our service provider exhibitors and your participation. We strongly believe time together, face-to-face, is vital to strengthening the foundation of success as school administrators.
We remind you that photos from the event are posted on the
VASSP Facebook page

. We are already planning the 91st state conference at
The Omni Homestead
, June 24-27, 2018. Your input is vital to our quest for continuous improvement. This event evolves each year and improvements are the direct result of feedback obtained from our participants.
It is an honor and a pleasure to serve as the VASSP president for 2017-2018. Together we can advance our principal profession, promote quality education, and strive to improve student achievement. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me, or with the VASSP staff, about any issue of interest to you.
Best wishes to you as you begin the new school year!
Sincerely,
