  • 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.

  • Electric Cooperative Leaders Advocate for Two Key Bills
    January 31, 2019 Virginia General Assembly Electric Cooperative Leaders Advocate for Two Key Bills With skies threatening rain on a cold, blustery day, more than 125 board members, CEOs and employees representing all 13 of Virginia’s electric cooperatives gathered in Richmond this past Tuesday, Jan. 29 for Legislative Day activities sponsored by the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC). The Legislative Day event is held each year and gives electric cooperative leaders the opportunity to visit their state delegates and senators and discuss pending legislation of interest to VMD member systems. Among pending bills discussed with legislators this year were two of particular interest to Virginia electric cooperatives. One bill is a landmark net-metering Southside Electric Cooperative CEO Jeff Edwards (r), Board compromise developed through the “Rubin Group,” Chairman Frank Bacon (2nd from left) and Board Member Kristie which brings together representatives of utilities and of Martin-Wallace meet with House of Delegates Speaker Kirk Cox renewable energy and environmental interests, in (R-Colonial Heights) on Co-op Legislative Day. particular the solar power industry. This bill would provide our member-consumers with increased access to renewables, while allowing electric cooperatives to better recover and allocate their costs. It’s being sponsored on the Senate side by Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R-Richmond) and on the House side by Del. Tim Hugo (R-Centreville). The other bill is a cooperative regulatory-efficiency bill being sponsored by Sen. Steve Newman (R-Forest), who serves as president pro tempore of the Senate. This bill would provide Virginia cooperatives with a more efficient path to follow when they want to offer voluntary programs that have already been approved by the State Corporation Commission for another cooperative.
