The Virginia Coalition for Open Government is proud to have the following individuals and institutions as members as of July 2011 (when membership renewal notices are sent out). Without our members and donors, VCOG could not carry on its work in providing Virginia citizens with the help they need to maintain access to the records, meetings and proceedings of the state and local government.
To join these fine folks in supporting open government in Virginia, click here to join.
And, click here to see a recent list of members of the General Assembly who have made the commitment to access in Virginia.
