Attention Virginia Small Business Owners: The Governor Needs YOUR Voice!

Governor Youngkin is looking for small business perspective

Attention Virginia Small Business Owners: The Governor Needs YOUR Voice!

  The Youngkin Administration is in need of Virginia Small Business leaders to serve on state Board and Commissions.  Here is a list of all board seats that are currently vacant, as well as the seats with terms that will expire this year.  The seat descriptions indicate if there is a specific requirement for that seat (a specific profession, consumer, someone who lives in a certain congressional district, etc).  If there is only a number listed (Seat 7), there is no specific criteria for that seat.  A “citizen” seat requires someone who is not affiliated with that profession.   YOU are the voice of small business and if elected leaders don’t hear from YOU, they won’t know what’s important to you and the issues you’re struggling with.   Right now the legislature is stalled on the budget and other small business issues including tax relief and suspending the gas tax after gaveling out after their 60 day window. It’s another reason why they need to hear from small business owners – real people who are facing real consequences from lawmakers inaction.   For more information on the boards and commissions see the Virginia Blue Book.   All applicants need to fill out an online survey and upload a resume or bio onto the Online Portal.
