CVC Leadership
Multiple groups of state employees provide statewide leadership and support to CVC. The CVC Advisory Council (CVCAC) is is a state employee committee composed of a representative from each cabinet secretariat, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, seven regional representatives and three state employee's chosen at-large. Each of these members is appointed by their respective executive, at the request of the Secretary of Administration. Members serve three -year terms. The CVCAC is responsible for general campaign oversight. Additionally, it is charged with the continued revision and improvement of CVC and all its processes.
Additionally, Agency Coordinators are appointed by their respective agency head to organize the CVC within their agency. Our coordinators are a very important and crucial part of the CVC team.
CVC also has three full-time employees at the central CVC location in downtown Richmond:
