 I
am truly humbled and grateful to serve as your VAPT President. It
was a pleasure seeing you at our 2023 VAPT Conference in Roanoke,
Virginia. I want to extend a special thanks to our vendors, regional
directors, committee chairs, and the VAPT Board for your unwavering
commitment, time, and sacrifice to ensure the 2023 VAPT Conference
was a huge success. The goal is that each of you will take key
learning and information back to your respective district and add to
your current growth plan.
I am excited to continue to “build from places of strength” as we
learn and grow together on how we can better serve the students we
transport to and from school daily. One of my favorite quotes by Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr states: “We must use time creatively, in the
knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.”
Let’s continue the conversations, networking, and collaborations
that took place during the conference. We are on the same team
striving to transport our future. As your new President, I am
committed to working with each of you, listening, and taking action
on things that will make us better together. Please know that each
of you play a critical role to your respective Transportation
Department in the Commonwealth of Virginia to ensure the safety and
well being of our most treasured assets. Wishing all of you a
successful and safe 2023 -2024 school year.
Respectfully,
Darrin O. Wills
