VFP Business Meeting Format 2026

The VFP Business meeting will be held on Saturday, August 8 at 8:30 am ET, 10:30 am CT, 11:30 am PT.

The following format is in accordance with our bylaws, policies, and procedures, and Robert’s Rules of Order, and duplicates the process we used in the past two years, which seemed to work well.
