The Virginia Association of Zoning Officials (VAZO) was organized in 1990 to perpetuate an organized professional support community for the maintenance of active communication.
Our primary goal is to formulate a healthy organizational network capable of sustaining the goals of the organization that is not reliant on a few individual personalities. In addition, we strive to:
-
Expand the awareness of professional administrators concerning the authority with which their positions are empowered.
-
Provide a reliable communication network for the use of administrators to develop solutions to various zoning problems.
-
Increase the visibility of the organization and develop an identity as a legitimate member of the public administration organizational community.
-
Provide high quality programs to members of the organization with consistently high standards of excellence.
-
Continue to improve member development.
-
Instill on the part of all members a desire to make VAZO the model for future organizations.
-
Develop a mentoring program among Virginia's zoning officials.
