Professional Development
Throughout the year, VACE offers its members opportunities for professional development through activities such as site visits, roundtables, workshops, and other in-service training experiences. The interaction among college and employer members allows for self-improvement and learning.
Annual Conference
Held each Spring, the annual conference provides an opportunity to share timely information and focus on important issues. Noteworthy speakers address major developments in the field, group discussions focus on key areas of program development, and social gatherings provide ample time for members to exchange ideas with new and old colleagues alike.
