About VAHPERD
VAHPERD Members,
It is my pleasure to serve as the editor of The Virginia Journal (TVJ) and Communicator. Enclosed
you will find the Spring 2017 issue. I hope to continue the successful publications of TVJ and Com-
municator.
However, the success of TVJ and the Communicator only go as far as the members and our
submissions. I ask that you continue to submit the quality work you have in the past. Let the state,
region and nation know the outstanding work we are doing in VAHPERD. So this is my continued
call for manuscripts for the Fall 2017 issue of TVJ and news information for the Communicator. The
TVJ and Communicator depend on the submissions from our exceptional professionals working in the
field.
So please continue to e-mail me your manuscripts and news by July 15, 2017 as a Word attach-
ment for the two publications. Please follow the manuscript guidelines posted in each issue of TVJ.
My contact information is below.
Sincerely,
Michael Moore, PhD, ATC, Associate Professor, HHP
