Preamble to VASA Constitution

BELIEVING that it is beneficial to improve a service professionally, by associating in an organized group in pursuit of a common interest with its own self-contained administrative structure and functions, and believing that such an association can be an opportunity to strive for higher professional standards, we the members of the Virginia Administrative Support Association (VASA) resolve to unite in a common effort as stipulated in the constitution and by-laws.
