COAA-VA’s Spring Workshop will take place on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at GMU’s Fuse at Mason Square, a landmark P3 development in the heart of Arlington.

COAA-VA is where Owners and industry partners from across the Commonwealth come together to learn, share and lead. Our events are Owner-Focused, highly interactive and full of practical insights you can put to use right away. Whether you're higher-ed, state/local government or in the private sector - there is a seat for you at the table.

The value of COAA membership is off-the-charts high. An entire Owner organization can join for $1,050/year. For an organization with 25 staff in the planning/design/construction department, that means a cost of only $42/person. Beyond the tangible benefits – especially for Emerging Pros (age 35 or younger) – membership also opens the door to engagement and volunteer opportunities. Give back to the industry, network with like-minded and motivated peers, direct the future of the organization, and build your resume.
The ball is in your court! If you are interested in learning more about COAA membership and/or volunteer opportunities, contact Jessica Bonin at jbonin@coaa.org
