VATA wins NATA’s Dan Campbell Award

Congratulations to Rose Schmieg, GAC chair, and Becky Bowers-Lanier, VATA lobbyist, for their roles in scoring a big win for the VATA. The VATA won the Dan Campbell Legislative Award (Class II), for raising the political visibility of the profession and organization. Rose and Amanda Caswell, VATA President-elect, were on-hand to receive the award at the NATA Annual Meeting and Symposium in New Orleans on June 18th.

The VATA earned this honor by sustained efforts such as the annual Capital Hill Day in Richmond and the development of the advocacy agenda. Congratulations, Rose and Becky!
