VBEA - Virginia Business Education Association

07/24/2026

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter.💫

I am honored to have been installed as the 2026–2027 President of the Virginia Business Education Association (VBEA) at the close of our Summer Conference.

As I step into this role, I look forward to representing and advocating for the incredible business and information technology educators across Virginia. Our teachers work every day to prepare students with the skills they need to succeed in college, careers, and life, and I am proud to serve an organization dedicated to supporting that mission.

I look forward to working alongside an outstanding board and our dedicated educators as we continue to inspire students, support teachers, and shape the future of business education.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported me along this journey. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what we accomplish together.

Here's to a year of leadership, collaboration, and making a lasting impact across the Commonwealth.

Sincerely,

BreAnne Woodson
VBEA President

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our former VBEA students Genesis Sims and Peyton Tucei, for serving as panel guests during the VBEA 2026 Conference! ✨

Your willingness to share your journeys—from transitioning out of high school, to your experiences as members of VBEA, and how your Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes helped prepare you for your current careers—was both inspiring and impactful.

Your stories reminded us that the skills learned in the classroom extend far beyond graduation and can truly shape future success. Thank you for encouraging the next generation to dream big, work hard, and embrace every opportunity that comes their way.

🎤 During the discussion, VBEA President Michael Onda asked former student panelists Genesis and Peyton, "What kind of feedback from teachers helped you grow the most?"
