We are dedicated…
To promoting understanding, fellowship, and cooperation among Benefit Programs
Specialists in Virginia.
To improving the quality of eligibility practices and advancement of eligibility
work as a profession.
To developing effective methods of interpreting our work to the public.
To helping provide skilled, family-based assistance to those who need the
services we have to offer.
Activities
- Local planning districts often have guest speakers who offer information
and presentations which are intended to enrich both our personal and professional lives.
- Committees include representatives from the State and provide news of impending
changes, as well as insight into their impact on Benefit Programs Specialists. Benefit Programs Specialists, in turn, have
the opportunity to comment on the future direction of policy.
- A biannual Legislative Day in Richmond combines workshops about current legislative
issues. Benefit Programs Specialists have the opportunity to voice their concerns directly to the State lobbyists and legislators.
- Semiannual Training conferences are held with the Partnership of Office Services
Support Employees (POSSESS) and the Virginia Alliance of Social Work Practitioners (VASWP); biennial conferences are
held with the Virginia League of Social Services Executives (VLSSE).
