VSPC Connect With a Wish

The Virginia Statewide Payroll Conference has chosen to partner with Connect With A Wish (CWW) for our 2020 Charity. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating in Virginia Beach. Their mission is "to connect the wishes of children in Virginia Beach foster care with the generosity of the community. They provide the resources and support needed to give these children the opportunity to grow into positive and productive members of our community."

CWW implements a host of services including Birthday Brigade; Clothes Closet; Boys & Girls Youth Groups. They also provide large duffle bags partially filled with comfort items based upon age and gender. These are given to help ease the difficult transition of being removed from their homes or relocating to a new residence. This bag is easy to handle and is theirs to keep.

The Virginia Statewide Payroll Conference (VSPC) was established in 2000. This conference, when started, was operated under the APA Richmond Chapter. In 2009, the VSPC spun off into a separate stand-alone organization.
From inception, the organization had five affiliated chapters – APA Richmond Chapter, Hampton Roads Chapter, Colonial Capital Chapter, Shenandoah Valley Chapter, and the Southwest Virginia Chapter. In 2010, the Washington Metropolitan Area Chapter affiliated with the VSPC, and in 2011, The Charles Town West Virginia Chapter joined the VSPC. In 2020, the Shenandoah Valley Chapter did not reaffiliate with APA, leaving the VSPC with six affiliated chapters. For more information on our six affiliated chapters, please visit their websites.

The VSPC’s goal is to educate the Payroll Professional on current payroll legislation, trends, technology, and professional development. This education is accomplished through our annual conference with qualified speakers educating on topics that they have experience.
