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
