As we mark the 70th Anniversary of the Virginia Federation of NARFE Annual Conference, we celebrate not only a milestone in time but also the incredible dedication, hard work, and advocacy that  have defined this organization for seven dedicated.  Since its inception, NARFE has been a steadfast voice for federal retirees, ensuring that their rights, benefits, and well-being are protected and advanced.

This anniversary serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements that have shaped the lives of countless federal employees, retirees, and their families across Virginia.  The work of the Virginia Federation has been vital in raising awareness, influencing policy, and building a strong community of advocates who are untied in their commitment to improving the lives of those who served our country.

To all the past and present members, volunteers, and leaders of the VFN, your tireless efforts and unwavering support have made this organization what it is today.  You have set a shining example of advocacy, leadership, and camaraderie.  Here’s to 70 years of success and to many more years of making a difference for our fellow retirees!

Together, we look forward to continuing this important work and furthering the cause of those who have dedicated their lives to public service.  Congratulations on this historic milestone, and thank you for your ongoing commitment to our shared mission!
