2007 Annual Meeting A Great

Turning Point

2007 Reorganization Action

During much of the previous two plus years the Board of Directors analyzed and developed a plan of reorganization that would simplify the decentralize the work of CPEAV. The plan called for changing our structure from one based on Virginia PDC Districts to one based on fewer districts that are more closely related to areas of community interest. Each of the districts could become the focus for delivery of unique services and programs oriented to its special needs and assets.

The Board Executive Committee has now developed a final detailed plan for 10 Districts it feels would best carry out the wishes of the members as expressed last October. If you have questions or suggestions, you are invited to contact the Executive Director.
