Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Virginia Chapter of APPA (VAPPA). We are a network of facilities management professionals working across a range of educational settings: university, college, community college, K-12, and vocational-technical. We represent institutions from across the Commonwealth – both public and private – and we are united by APPA’s mission of Leadership in Educational Facilities.

VAPPA’s signature event is our annual conference, held each spring in Williamsburg. The conference is driven by dedicated volunteers who believe in the power of knowledge-sharing, peer connection, and professional growth. Our 2026 conference at Kingsmill Resort brought together facilities leaders, business partners, and innovators from across Virginia to tackle the challenges ahead – and it was one of our strongest yet.

Beyond the annual conference, VAPPA works with member institutions to deliver valuable training opportunities right on their campuses through APPA’s Drive-in Workshops and Supervisor’s Toolkit. We regularly provide financial support to hosting schools, and our business partners bring the expertise and resources that make these programs meaningful.

One of my priorities as President is investing in the next generation of FM leadership. That’s why I’m especially proud of our Future Leaders of Facilities Summit – a no-cost, immersive event designed specifically for newly promoted supervisors and front-line employees with leadership in their sights. If you have someone on your team ready to take that next step, this is the event for them.

VAPPA is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization and we welcome participation at every level of facilities management. Your feedback matters – it helps us make sure VAPPA is genuinely useful to your institution. On behalf of the entire board, thank you for the work you do every day in support of your campus community. The environments you maintain and the teams you lead play a direct role in shaping the Commonwealth’s future leaders.

Warm Regards,

Adam Moyer

2026 – 28 VAPPA President

Chief of Fire and Safety Programs, Facilities Management, Virginia Military Institute
