Committees
The Virginia Club of New York is comprised of alumni from all walks of life. Our committees serve as valuable resources in planning events, researching programming ideas, and shaping the Club’s agenda. The Club also supports the activity of alumni communities of interest, representing groups across professions and hobbies. Finally, the Club supports various recurring events, such as our Business Forum Breakfast series and Book Club.
