The Virginia Library Association Manual codifies the policies, procedures, and structure of the Association. It includes the VLA By-laws and the appendices which provide samples of forms used for programming, budgeting, nominating, and other Association activities. The Manual reflects current VLA practice and policy. The Second Vice-president revises the Manual as needed and informs Council of changes. Revision dates are reflected in the Table of Contents. The Manual is available to all members on the Virginia Library Association website (http://www.vla.org). The policies of the Association may be altered by a majority vote of Council or by a vote of the membership in accordance with the By-laws. Changes will have the force of a policy of this Association as soon as action is taken to amend the Manual. Substantive changes to administrative procedures are made by vote of the Executive Committee and ratified by Council. The Virginia Library Association is incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia known as the Virginia Non Stock Corporation Act (Virginia Code, Chapter 10, Section 13.1.801-980).
