Come Learn With Us
COAA-VA hosts powerful, peer-led events throughout the year... always designed with Owners in mind. From hard hat tours to deep-dive discussions, every gathering is an opportunity to learn something new and meet someone who gets it.
Who We Are
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.
Why Get Involved?
Relevant learning:
Workshops, tours, and round-tables filled with Owner-specific content.
Real Relationships:
Build lasting connections with peers who understand your world.
Leadership Opportunities:
Shape the chapter's direction, grow your network and make an impact.
Up your project leadership game by joining COAA.
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
