VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF FEDERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM ADMINISTRATORS
VaFEPA Sponsors
Dear VAFEPA Members and Colleagues,
As the vibrant colors of fall begin to blanket Virginia, I’m reminded of the season’s invitation to reflect, reset, and re-engage. In our work as federal education program administrators, this time of year offers a powerful opportunity to recommit to our shared mission of service, collaboration, and accountability.
Across the Commonwealth, your efforts continue to uplift students and communities. Whether navigating compliance, supporting Title programs, or leading innovative initiatives, your dedication is the heartbeat of equitable education. VAFEPA is proud to stand beside you, offering connection, advocacy, and professional learning.
This fall, I’m excited to highlight two exceptional opportunities for growth and engagement:
🍂 Bruman EDGAR Academy – Richmond, VA
Hosted by NAFEPA and presented by The Bruman Group, this in-person, full-day workshop will take place in Richmond and is designed to deepen your understanding of EDGAR and Uniform Grants Guidance (UGG). Attendees will receive the 6th Edition of Bruman’s Administrator’s Handbook on EDGAR and participate in interactive sessions on cost principles, audit requirements, and best practices for federal fund compliance.
