The Executive Board Meeting is held in closed session in order to discuss Committee A matters. The General Meeting that begins at 10:30 a.m. is open to all members and we encourage each chapter to send a representative. The luncheon from 12-1 will be held in a cafeteria setting and does not requires an RSVP. Professor Robert O'Neil, Director of the Institute for the First Amendment will be our featured speaker. Professor O'Neil is an expert on legal affairs and has been active in AAUP at both the Conference and National Levels.

The fall meeting is an excellent opportunity to meet the officers and committee chairpersons of the Virginia Conference. It provides opportunities to band together and discuss matters of common interest such as legislative issues at both the state and national levels as well as concerns regarding academic freedom and shared governance.
