A Note from the AVA President
At the recent Peer to Peer held in Wisconsin on June 11-12, 2024 AVA presented out-going Executive Director Barry Bryant with a plaque and our thanks for his many years of service to AVA.
Barry was/is a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan so we also got him a personalized jersey with his name and the number of his favorite player (Joey Votto’s #19) on the back. He absolutely LOVED it and was very surprised!
Thank you Barry for all you have done for AVA and all VAWA Administrators around the country/territories. You will be missed – but Happy Retirement!!!
