I hope everyone is enjoying all that springtime has had to offer, and with summer just around the corner, I hope it will be an enjoyable season for you as well.
VAPDC has stayed busy at work since my previous message. The Executive Directors Committee and Board of Directors both have held meetings. The Executive Directors have been keeping close tabs on funding issues at the federal level and also are having ongoing discussions about the state requirement for regional water supply planning, which many of our PDCs have decided to lead. After closing out the three-session virtual Winter Series with a great discussion on changing demographics in Virginia, we have turned our attention to the Summer Series and even the next in-person staff training workshop to be held in the fall. Thanks to the Program Committee for a great start planning these events! We’re looking to have an in-person gathering of the Board and Executive Directors in early August, at which time we’ll hold the annual VAPDC business meeting. We’ve also had our PDCs participating in regional meetings of the Virginia Association of Counties and appreciate the opportunity to interact with our county officials. As I said, we’ve been busy!
It is great to see the good works that continue to happen in our PDC regions. The collaboration with member local governments and other local and regional partners is so critical to the success of these communities. Keep it up! Have a great rest of spring and summer!
