VEA President Meg Gruber to Serve on McAuliffe Transition Committee
Governor-Elect Terry McAuliffe has appointed VEA President Meg Gruber to a bipartisan group of Virginians who will help him build a foundation for a successful administration. In appointing Gruber and other members of the 52-person “Common Ground for Virginia” Transition Committee, McAuliffe said the group will help to “build a strong and diverse administration that will help me bring Virginians together to grow our economy.”
"The challenges we face require leaders who will put old battles aside and find common ground to move us forward together,” McAuliffe said. “I have no doubt that this transition committee will help me build an administration that is ready to hit the ground running on the issues that matter most to Virginia families.”
Gruber noted that McAuliffe has repeatedly made the case that strong schools are integral to a strong Virginia. “He understands the importance of public education, and I’m pleased that he’s made sure that Virginia’s teachers and support professionals are represented on the transition committee,” she added.
The Committee’s work will span the next two months.
