Richmond Chapter

The Richmond Chapter of the VWAA is an enigma--going through periods of sustained hibernation followed by periods of enthusiastic participation in a variety of activities.  Historically, we have been most committed to screening judicial candidate screening and promoting the organization’s legislative agenda.  And, we like to party.

This past December, the Chapter hosted a Christmas reception honoring our local judges.  The gala event was well attended by local attorneys as well as Justices and Judges, government attorneys, and both state and local bar representatives.   In January, we participated in the VWAA’s legislative program.  And in April we hosted a “Rainmaking” program at the University of Richmond’s T. C. Williams School of Law which was enthusiastically received by both law students and practicing attorneys, as was the reception following the program.

The Chapter by tradition has been casual when it comes to officers, generally operating with only a President and Treasurer, and sometimes with one person filling both roles.  However, with the new growth of the chapter, we have a full slate of officers for the 2007-2008 year, Courtney Van Winkle will serve as President, Lauren Ebersole Hutcheson will serve as secreatry and Darrel Tillar Mason will serve as Treasurer.  Plans are underway for presentation of a  “Senior Law Day” program in partnership with other local organizations.
