Website Changes

We are upgrading the VGEA website to better serve our members.  Part of this upgrade includes a Members Only area.  This area is accessible only to current members of the VGEA and must be used to access our Member Services section (which contains ticket, product and service discounts available only to VGEA members), our Retiree Information center, our Chapter Information section (which includes chapter organizational materials, chapter news and postings), and Foresight Online (an online version of the VGEA quarterly newsletter).  Later this year, our Online Legislative Action Center will also move to the Members Only area.  If you are not a member of the VGEA and want to take advantage of these benefits, Join Now! If you are already a member, please take a few moments to set up your user name and password and then explore the Members Only area of your new website.  If you have any questions, need help or have ideas for further improvements, please contact us.
