We will be accepting donations such as snack food, drinks, mints, gum, sunscreen, lip balm, etc. to help show our appreciation to VBPD’s 2nd Precinct for all they do on behalf of our visitors. In the next day or so, we’ll be dropping Donation Boxes in all Department break rooms.
In some way, we have all affected the work lives of our 2nd Precinct Officers. Think about it…every single event we host, and every single day of the year…the men & women of VBPD’s 2nd Precinct have the distinction of ‘Protecting and Serving’ our visitors while they are in our destination.
Your CVB Culture Team is excited to THANK THEM in advance of the busy July 4th weekend!
Between now and 5pm on June 27th, bring a donation for us to collect and deliver to the 2nd Precinct.
Just place your donation(s) in one of the break room boxes…and the CVB Culture Team will take care of the rest by delivering everything to them on June 30th.
So…take an opportunity to thank a Cop. Donate soon so we can thank them on behalf of all of us!

Team,
I am excited to announce that Rubylee Gardner, our Business Applications Specialist at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, took a HUGE step this past week by competing the 1st portion of her CompTIA A+ certification training.
This Information Technology certification serves to validate her skills while providing her with training to better understand advancing technologies, gain problem-solving skills and be even more productive and effective.
Please join me in congratulating her for completing the 1st part of her CompTIA A+ certification training and passing the exam with FLYING colors. Take a moment to cheer her on as she goes on to complete the 2nd phase of the training to become a Certified IT Technician.
One Team – One Goal,
Bryan Ryals
