Virginia Council
From Wikibbyo
Virginia Council BBYO #56 is the slightly smaller council of the two which comprimise Eastern Region (the other being North Carolina Council). Virginia Council consists of eight chapters - 4 BBG, 3 AZA, and 1 BBYO - and about 235 members of the over 600 in Eastern Region.
Two areas of Virginia primarily compromise the council - Tidewater (Virginia Beach/Norfolk) and Richmond.
Richmond: Monarchs AZA Abraham Cohen BBG Tikvah BBG
Tidewater/Virginia Beach: Old Dominion AZA
Dr. Israel Brown AZA
Simcha BBG Kruger BBG
Finally, established in 2011 by the 2011-2012 Council Leadership, a BBYO chapter was founded on Virginia Peninsula encompassing Williamsburg, VA and Newport News, VA - a chapter that came to be named Halutzim BBYO.
Virginia Council carries significant presence on the International level as well, most recently producing the 85th Grand Aleph Shaliach, Saul Brodsky, and leading the International Order in Summer 2012 with four summer program coordinators - more than any other Region or Council in the entire International order.
