Sponsorship Opportunities
The VCCA hosts an annual conference each fall bringing together faculty, staff, and administrators to enrich community college education in Virginia through a climate of professional service and growth. The annual conference provides a unique opportunity to connect employees from all 23 Community Colleges, the Systems Office, and Shared Services to collaborate, exchange information, and discuss issues and opportunities to enhance the programs and services of the VCCS (Virginia Community Colleges System).
Sponsorship of the annual VCCA Conference is a golden opportunity for businesses to showcase their organization and services with over 250+ attendees from all across the Commonwealth of Virginia and make connections with individuals responsible for purchasing for various areas and departments throughout the VCCS.
