Join us as DVAPPA officially relaunches with an afternoon of connection, inspiration, and renewed momentum in the beautiful Great Hall at Bryn Mawr College. This special gathering will bring together higher education and K-12 facilities professionals from across the region to celebrate the chapter’s next era, welcome the newly installed Board, and reconnect with colleagues and peers. Please note, this event is for institutional members only but the new board looks forward to hosting events to include the full chapter of institutional members and business partners.
The program will include welcome remarks, the formal installation of the new DVAPPA Board, and a chapter business meeting focused on the future vision and direction of the organization. We will be voting on the new DVAPPA By-Laws which should be reviewed in advance and can be accessed here. Attendees will also enjoy opportunities for networking and collaboration throughout the afternoon reception.
We are especially excited to welcome keynote speaker Ashley Fox, former Philadelphia sports journalist, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized motivational speaker. Ashley is known for her powerful message on leadership and resilience, inspired by her signature quote: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” Her presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A session with attendees.
Whether you are reconnecting with longtime colleagues or this is your first DVAPPA event, this relaunch is an opportunity to help shape the future of the chapter while building meaningful professional relationships within our community.
We look forward to welcoming institutional members as we celebrate this exciting new beginning for DVAPPA.
