Over the last five years, VRLTA has developed eight local chapters throughout the Commonwealth. The structure of these chapters allows our members to connect with others in their area to share ideas, network, and learn. Benefits to members include quarterly chapter meetings, education opportunities, and the chance to meet local legislators. Individual members can take a leadership role on the chapter board or get involved in planning events.
Current VRLTA chapters include Arlington-Alexandria, Blue Ridge-New River Valley, Bull Run, Charlottesville, Coastal, Fairfax-Loudoun, Richmond, and Shenandoah Valley (click on the links to visit each chapter page). The map below shows approximate locations from which each chapter pulls; however, members are able to attend events for any chapter. Don't see a chapter in your area? Reach out to Brittany Wojdyla, Vice President of Membership and Business Development to learn more about any plans or ways to get involved.
“I would highly encourage anyone in the travel, tourism and hospitality business, both private industry and public interests, to join and be active within VRLTA. The value they bring to their membership is genuinely superlative and includes great opportunities to connect through a plethora of events, meetings, and roundtables that inform and celebrate the tourism trade. VRLTA is truly a pillar in the hospitality industry."
