The 63rd Conference & Annual Business meeting of the Virginia National Guard Association convenes April 28-30, 2023, in the Commonwealth’s first capital city of Williamsburg. The annual conference is the pre-eminent gathering of Officers, Warrant Officers, and leaders of the Virginia National Guard committed to growing leadership capacity, improving organizational effectiveness, and leader development. Register here.
We gather this year under the theme: SOAR. SOAR is a conference for actively serving Soldiers and Airmen, retired, and alumni of the Virginia National Guard. It is also a mindset, a course of action, and a community aimed at supporting leaders and leader development within the formations of the Virginia Army and Air National Guard. It is the intent of the conference planning committee that attendees learn how to: Seize Opportunities and Rise.
Please join us in Williamsburg during the late April timeframe for a VNGA conference with plenty of shops, dining, nightlife, and sports just steps away from the Colonial Williamsburg. Register here.
Saturday starts with a presentation to the VNGA, the Virginia National Guard Enlisted Association, and the Virginia National Guard Historical Foundation from the 28th Adjutant General of Virginia, Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams. Following the joint presentation, the VNGA Officers and Warrant Officers break out into grade-specific sessions to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the Virginia National Guard. These breakout sessions feed the VNGA Board of Directors’ priorities for 2024. Following the breakout sessions, the VNGA convenes the annual business meeting and holds elections for officer positions and sets the advocacy agenda for 2024.
Saturday night ends with the 2023 Military Ball. The military ball features a formal military banquet and keynote presentation from a senior leader of the National Guard, live music provided by the 29th Infantry Division Band, games and dancing!
