To all VLA members, prospective members, sponsors and prospective sponsors: On Tuesday Nov. 27, 2007, the Virginia Limousine Association held a meeting of the membership in Richmond at The Bull & Bear Club. The attendance included members and prospective members from as far away as Southeast Virginia and as close as the Richmond area and represented 15 or so members and prospective members. Thank you to all who made the effort to get there and participate in a lively forum on quite a few issues. A motion to suspend the bylaws and to accelerate the nomination process to Jan. 8, 2008 at which time an election or installation of new Officers will be held. Parties seeking a place on the Board should please contact us to discuss the Board openings and responsibilities. The participating members voted to have a meeting on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 in Fredericksburg, VA, at a location yet to be decided, to install new Board members and set specific calendar dates for VLA meetings for the rest of 2008. Dues for the year are due Jan. 1, 2008. Please click here for the VLA website for an application and further information at www.virginialimousineassociation.org Also, those present discussed matters that we all thought are and will be of significance to all operators large and small in the near future. The discussions included but were not limited to the following: How will new and current legislation affect our businesses by tax increases, tolls, user fees, or enforcement.
On behalf of those present, we encourage you to take some time and think about attending VLA meetings, joining the association and findomg out who else may have the exact concerns you have and work together as an association for the benefit of all. We discussed the use of tele-conferencing or web-conferencing if it would help to increase membership. We discussed hiring someone to collect information, get the database revised and current and work on mailings as well as e-mailings. I hope that some of this news will get you interested in attending the VLA meeting in January and see what can be done with an involved membership.
