Staff reports progress with governor and notes cadet legislative visits

Virginia Military Institute board · January 29, 2026

Summary

A staff member updated the committee on legislative outreach, described a developing relationship with the new governor who accommodated VMI requests, and noted cadet leadership was meeting legislators at the General Assembly Building that day.

A government-relations staff member (Speaker 2) briefed the committee on legislative engagement and institutional outreach. He said he had briefed the committee on legislative actions taken earlier in the semester, praised staff members Dallas and Kim for maintaining relationships, and said he has ‘‘had two great meetings with the new governor’’ who had been accommodating to VMI — arranging parade participation and processing early board appointments, in the staff member's description.

Speaker 2 also reported that about 12 cadets and cadet leadership were meeting legislators at the General Assembly Building that day to engage with lawmakers. Speaker 3 added that written materials prepared by the government relations team were included in the committee report for members to review.

The remarks were framed as operational updates and informational; no formal action was recorded on these items at this meeting.
