An essential function of the Virginia Council of Chapters (VCOC) is facilitating chapter participation in Virginia Legislative issues concerning military, veterans, military retirees and their families.
The VCOC works with the Joint Leadership Council of Veterans Service Organizations (the JLC) to present a solid front on state legislative issues.
The VCOC and Virginia chapters of MOAA "storm" the state capitol in Richmond each year and spend the day with the General Assembly.
To view legislative priorities, storming Richmond, JLC info in subsections of this portion of the VCOC website.... Point your curser to State Legislative on the menu at left and you will see the subsections. Click on the subsection to go there.
To determine who your legislators are (or the legislators of other members of your chapter), you may enter info into the form at http://conview.state.va.us/whosmy.nsf/main?openform
