History

The Virginia Emergency Management Association (VEMA) Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) Caucus was established in March 2012. The Caucus was created to provide opportunities for public and private college/university emergency management (EM) professionals to be involved in VEMA, gain support from other EM professionals working in localities/jurisdictions across the Commonwealth of Virginia, and serve as a forum to advocate for change to State legislative requirements placed on colleges/universities. Comprised of four (4) peer-elected officers, the Caucus Board of Directors is charged with providing executive leadership for EM professionals at colleges/universities throughout the Commonwealth. 

Mission: The mission of the VEMA IHE Caucus is to collaboratively support the growth and sustainment of high-quality emergency management programming for Institutions of Higher Education within the Commonwealth of Virginia through advocacy, information sharing, and professional development. 

Vision: The VEMA IHE Caucus strives to be the premiere collaborative organization supporting and advocating for emergency management at institutions of higher education within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
