2008 Annual Meeting
Will See Completion of Reorganization!
Final
Reorganization Action -- we URGE you to
please exercise your privilege
as a CPEAV member to
VOTE BY PROXY -- we need your vote very much! It is critical to our
ability to continue to deliver the quality training we are dedicated to
providing.
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 closely related to
the various areas
of community interest throughout the state. Each of the districts will
have the potential to become the focus for delivery of unique services and programs oriented
to its particular interests, special needs and assets. For example, this
will begin in late November with a Certified Planning Commissioner
course offering oriented to and being held in Loudoun County.
The Board Executive Committee
has completed the final detailed plan
for 10 Regions (click
here) and the enabling changes to the Constitution and ByLaws it feels would best
carry out the wishes of the members as expressed last October at the
2007 Conference and Annual Meeting. The Board is recommending their
adoption.
The documents have been included in the early September Newsletter
along with a PROXY BALLOT for your signature and return if you will be
unable to attend the Annual Business meeting in Williamsburg. You can
also participate in this decision by simply downloading and printing the
documents for use from your home or office. Please consider this option
and VOTE!
Documents, Map and Proxy
Ballot
Available
for
Download -- VOTE NOW
The proposed revisions to our Constitution and ByLaws are available by
clicking
here. A Proxy Ballot is available by clicking
here. The new 10 Region Map is
here.
The need for the proposed revisions is clearly evident -- one only needs
to download and read a few lines to realize how needed your support of
these changes is. It is easy to forget that we have renamed our
Association and made several basic changes and this maintenance and
update revision to our Constitution and ByLaws is necessary to "keep us
up to date" in all aspects. Please take the necessary few minutes to
check the documents out and vote your conscience. If you
have questions or suggestions, you are invited to contact the
Executive Director for straight talk
answers.

2008
Certified PC Programs Graduate Seminar
The 2008 Certified PC Programs Graduate Seminar will be held Monday, December 15 at the popular centrally located
Charlottesville Omni Hotel. The low cost this year will be a modest $110
-- a bargain for a timely update of the many changes and new techniques
in the planning, growth and development fields. This is critical
information needed by Certified Graduates, governing body members,
staff, land use and zoning lawyers, appraisers, realtors and others who
must keep up to date on evolving planning, legal and zoning techniques
and other timely information regarding growth and development matters.
Mark your calendar now and watch for the posting of a Registration Form
in mid to late September.
Please be aware that the information to be presented is primarily
oriented to the needs of the Certified Planning Commissioner, we
heartily welcome Certified Boards of Zoning Appeals members as well as
all others who could benefit by the knowledge to be gained at this
important training opportunity.
