Strategic Plan

In the fall of 2020, the Virginia Fire Prevention Association Executive Board of Directors met in Winchester, Virginia, for a leadership event. The sole purpose was to establish a planning document to help guide the current and future leadership(s) of the Association. Using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and input received from the members served by the association, specific goals to best serve our members were identified. In addition a focused look at the Mission, Vision and Values of the Association was conducted. As a result, a Strategic Planning Document was developed and presented to the Membership at the VFPA 2021 Annual Membership Meeting held on Wednesday, May 25, 2021 and the plan was adopted by the membership by a majority vote.


2023/2024 VFPA Directional Plan

The Covid Pandemic drastically impacted the Virginia Fire Prevention Association  with Fire Departments refocusing priorities, eliminating travel and training attendance and moving many activities to a virtual format. As the pandemic winds down and communities return to normal, this directional plan should serve as a guide for VFPA to re-engage and increase participation in various activities and priorities of the association.
