The VASP's Co-Chairs (usually two per Locality Group) hold a list of supporters of the VASP who are in their local area, this enables a Co-Chair to circulate their Locality Group's Agenda and/or Minutes, by e-mail. Names and contact details for each Co-Chair can be found under the Locality VASP's heading on the homepage.
