We want to hear from you if you think Ric Arenstein we’re on the right course.

The teachers left excited to add VPAP’s maps and visualizations to their lesson plans. They also had the opportunity to share VPAP resources with their colleagues through in-service trainings. We not only taught but learned a lot about how to improve vpap.org for middle and highschool classrooms. VPAP EVENTS Lighten Up, It’s Just Politics! May 3 VPAP’s annual luncheon is a rare unifying event in Virginia politics that offers all sides a chance to come together. Officeholders from both parties try stand-up comedy and make lighthearted jabs at themselves and others. More than 500 people—from government affairs professionals to political activists—enjoyed comedic turns by Gov. Ralph Northam and U.S. Rep. Dave Brat. Beau Cribbs (left) warmed up the crowd as master of ceremonies. After Virginia Votes November 13 Virginia’s election calendar would not be complete without VPAP’s post-election retrospective—a unique dialogue between strategists from Democratic and Republican campaigns. “After Virginia Votes” is organized by VPAP and hosted by the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. This year’s event offered a behind-the-scenes look at Virginia’s midterm elections from U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine’s campaign manager Kéren Charles Dongo and veteran Republican strategist Chris Jankowski.

  • 2020 VPAP Annual Report
    Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.
