As we celebrate our 55th anniversary this year, I am constantly reminded of the extraordinary people who have been part of VIA over the years. Since I took the executive director’s position in the summer of 2016, I had the opportunity to join over a dozen VIA events and meet over 250 alumni in person. While I greatly enjoy meeting our alumni to hear about their VIA experiences and stories of how VIA touched their lives and shaped who they are today, I always wish there were more time to learn more from them
