2025 VRA State of the Association Address
Abstract
The organization remains financially stable, with the annual conference being its largest expense. The Board emphasizes adaptability and progress, facilitating the evolution of the organization by initiating member-driven projects--such as adopting new membership software for better user experience. Ongoing discussions center on expanding VRA’s impact through increased funding, organizational development, and documentation efforts. Conference planning now considers factors like travel funds and virtual fatigue, surfacing models fit the needs of the time. Chapter engagement has also been revisited, reflecting a mix of informal and traditional structures.
