The May VSRA General Membership meeting was held at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel on May 17, 2022. The guest speaker was Captain Tim Barney, USN, Commander, Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center.

In the United States, and all across the country, we celebrate by reminding each other of the importance of staying safe! We also participate in activities that further promote safety awareness and education.

Investment is necessary to grow the pipeline of skilled workers in Hampton Roads needed to support critical industry sectors, including shipbuilding and ship repair, the emerging offshore wind industry, road, and infrastructure construction. The HR Strong Initiative has been designed to boost existing training efforts in Hampton Roads in order to  provide a skilled and prepared workforce to deliver first-time quality, and support (1) increased Navy ship construction, repair, modernization, and maintenance programs, (2) the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, (3) Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion project, and (4) the critical need to develop opportunities for historically underserved communities to access and thrive in careers that provide family sustaining wages.
