VRA Executive Board Solidarity Statement

As a members’ organization, we strive to create an inclusive community that values and encourages diversity in its membership and work. Our mission is not only to promote knowledge sharing, skill development, and best practices, but also to foster open, inclusive communication; to offer a supportive community; and to advocate for all people who engage in the management of visual assets.

We have exciting news! On January 19, 2022, VRA (Visual Resources Association) and VRAF (Visual Resources Association Foundation) merged into a single 501(c)(3) and assumed the name Visual Resources Association. Over the next several months, we will be consolidating websites, social media channels, mailing lists, and finances. Our merged organization will be better positioned than ever to serve the needs of the VRA Community and beyond!
