History

Organization

VALS was organized in 1962 and has local associations throughout Virginia with a membership of approximately 120 persons engaged in work of a legal nature. 

VALS, which is affiliated with NALS, is nonunion, nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and nonprofit.

Administration

VALS functions through its administrative body, the Board of Governors, which is composed of a representative from each local association and the elected and appointed officers of VALS.

The Board of Governors meets three times each year with the annual meeting held in the spring.

History

The history of the local, state, and national associations is a record of vision, faith, and courage of the members. No one person can claim credit, but each member can be proud he or she has played a part in the organization and progress. Continued growth during the past years is a prelude to a more prosperous and productive future and YOU ARE INVITED TO BECOME A PART OF THAT FUTURE!
