Virginia Information Packet 2024

Welcome to the Nesbitt Administration Virginia Information Packet (VIP). Here you will find updated features on 2024-2025 Virginia DAR activities, some based on those of our National Society and its new Wright Administration goals, and some based on our own Virginia DAR goals.

Enjoy perusing executive summaries of what your Virginia State Officers and Committee Chairs are up to, and choose which you wish to participate in. Each feature is posted individually in PDF format to make it easy for you to link electronically, or to print out, those of interest. Please take a moment, grab your favorite beverage, and check out what’s current in our Virginia DAR world!
