Thank you to everyone who joined us for Clean the Bay Day at the East Ocean View Community Center in Norfolk, VA, on Saturday, June 7th! Your hard work and dedication made a real difference in preserving our beautiful coastline. We captured some lovely moments from the day, which you can view here. Thank you for your support and commitment to our community and environment!

Our very own Chapter President, Jessika Jemmott, is a new CGFM. Congratulations to all the new CGFMs!

This Saturday (07 JUN 2025), from 0900 AM to 1200 PM, the East Ocean View Community Center (9520 20th Bay St, Norfolk, VA 23518) will host the Clean the Bay Community Service Event. Volunteers are encouraged to park in the lot on 20th Bay Street and bring friends and family to participate in this important environmental effort. Don't miss this opportunity to make a positive impact on our local bay area and connect with fellow community members!

LEAD25 Training, held April 24–26 in Baltimore, MD was a tremendous success. Attendees enjoyed valuable networking opportunities, reconnected with old friends (Claudia Ohar), made new connections, deepened their knowledge of AGA, and even got to celebrate Kelly Stefanko’s birthday. We cannot wait to start the new year with a renewed sense of excitement!

The AGA VA Peninsula Chapter is looking for new leaders to join our Chapter Executive Committee for the upcoming 2025-2026 program year that begins in July 2025. 

If you want to be more involved in AGA at the National Level and help make decision for our association, please consider applying to serve on a board or committee!
