Chapter Webinars
Our A4LE Virginia Chapter is looking at revisiting our conversations from the summer to share how things are going with back to school in the midst of Covid-19. We had great feedback from the last sessions and several requests to find out the impact Covid-19 has actually had to their environments. In light of those requests we have planned for three separate conversations blending various topics. We are excited to bring several of the same resources into the conversation and get more valuable insights from them!
Registration is FREE for all, but you must register online. Share with colleagues and customers, everyone is welcome to attend.

Please join us for one or ALL of our conversations!
Everyone is busy trying to figure out how schools will operate in the fall. A4LE Virginia is providing some opportunities for educators, facility managers, and designers to discuss ideas and share together. Our hope is that this series of conversations will give school systems across the Commonwealth an opportunity to talk and discuss how different counties and cities are trying to address the impact of COVID-19 on opening schools.
