Membership to VCEH: Why join?
VCEH will demonstrate again and again its value in helping bring about change throughout the Commonwealth. Our improved programs and rigorous advocacy work will be the result!
VCEH provides an opportunity for units of local and state government to support the work of VCEH to provide critical education, training, information, and technical assistance. With this membership, the funds contributed are not used for legislative work or advocacy related to public funding sources.
VCEH relies on membership dues to fund critical policy initiatives and capacity building activities, and therefore there are suggested membership dues. However, inability to contribute at the suggested level should in no way deter organizations or individuals from joining VCEH.
