| Current Status of WorkWORLDTM Support in Virginia | |
| Current 100% Through 09/30/2010  |
Residents of Virginia can go to the WorkWORLD order page to place an order for the free WorkWORLD program. NOTE: Residents of Virginia should view the WorkWORLD Virginia-Specific Training Module page, which has multimedia explanations of WorkWORLD's Virginia-Specific features and operation. Financial support for continued free distribution of WorkWORLD in Virginia under the current Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) will end on September 30, 2010. Public and private agencies, organizations, and individuals, working as a collaboration, can pledge support to keep WorkWORLD freely available to all in Virginia beyond September 30, 2010. When the pledged support reaches 100%, citizens of Virginia will remain able to obtain WorkWORLD software and updates for free. Pledges of support for your state, Virginia, will be posted on this web page. See Achieving Free WorkWORLD in Your State Through Pledges for complete information about support pledges. Please make a pledge today. You can also urge leaders in Virginia, listed below, and others to make a pledge. When contacting any of the state leaders listed below, be sure to let them know that you appreciate their support of continued free WorkWORLD distribution in Virginia. Your state leadership needs to hear that what they are doing for citizens of Virginia is important and valued by their constituents and consumers.

Providing constructive feedback to leadership to help improve government policies and programs is a worthy endeavor. Most people in leadership positions do value the opinions of people experiencing or close to problems in our system.
Citizen-provided information is often the best and most accurate information a leader can receive. Sometimes it is the only way they can learn about real issues, difficulties, and successes of government initiatives to serve their constituents. We think leaders respond to positive feedback that they believe is accurate and reliable.
Providing your opinion and feedback to leadership could help keep WorkWORLDTM provided free to all in Virginia. This page provides, as a convenience, key contact information for agencies in your state and members of your state legislature. A different page has contact information for federal agencies.
Additionally, the Achieving Free WorkWORLD in Your State Through Pledges page shows how state agencies, community-based organizations, and individuals can help build a state funding pool to keep WorkWORLD free to residents of Virginia.
If you do contact leadership, tell them why WorkWORLD is valuable to you, and how you use the WorkWORLD program or website. Leadership can be encouraged to visit our explanation page for our new funding structure, so that they can consider the value of working with us to arrange for free distribution of our software to all that want it in Virginia.
Contact information and agency structures change frequently at the state level. If you find information here that needs to be updated, or if you know of other people and agencies in Virginia that should be added to the list, please email us at workworld@vcu.edu.
You may also wish to review our new funding structure page which details changes in distribution and other steps we are taking to keep WorkWORLD available for all.
