MeetUPs provide VAIS Members with opportunities to engage across our membership. The synchronous virtual events afford time for the sharing of resources and collegial conversations hosted by association staff.
MeetUPs are offered for Academic Leaders, Business Officers, College Counselors, Data Managers, Department Chairs, School Counselors, and Technology Teams and are available only to VAIS member and candidate schools. Save the dates and watch EDGEnotes for the zoom links.
In addition to monthly or quarterly meetups, VAIS hosts four Momentum MeetUPs each year for the full community.
