  • 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.

  • THE LEGISLATIVE LINE the Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 20, 2020
    VIRGINIA PENINSULA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® THE LEGISLATIVE LINE The Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 20, 2020 The 2020 Session of the General Assembly of Virginia convened on Wednesday, January 8th. This “long,” 60-day Session sees a new Democrat majority in the House of Delegates (55 Democrats to 445 Republicans), a new Democrat majority in the Senate (21 Democrats to 19 Republicans) and a Democrat Administration…the first time since 1994 that both Chambers and the Executive Branch are led by the same party. New majorities bring new leadership, and for the first time in Virginia’s history, the House of Delegates is led by a female, and the first time that the House has been led by a member of the Jewish faith. Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn assumed the gavel, assisted by another first: the first female Clerk of the House of Delegates, Suzette Denslow. Leadership in both bodies is dominated by Northern Virginia legislators, as are committee chair positions, but Hampton Roads is fortunate to have some dominant members in leadership as well, particularly in the Senate: Sen. Louise Lucas, Portsmouth President Pro Tempore Chairwoman, Senate Committee on Education & Health Sen. Mamie Locke, Hampton Senate Democratic Caucus Chair Chairwoman, Senate Committee on Rules Sen. Tommy Norment, James City Senate Republican Minority Leader Del. Cliff Hayes, Chesapeake Chairman, House Committee on Communications, Technology & Innovation Del. Jeion Ward, Hampton Chairwoman, House Committee on Labor & Commerce Del. Joe Lindsey Chairman, House Committee on Privileges & Elections Sen. Lynwood Lewis Chairman, Senate Committee on Local Government We should note, too, that Del.
