Clerks, you are the valued members who make up our union!

Meaning of our VAESP "Circle Moving Forward" logo:

Circle moving forward, composed of of individuals who are shown as a duplicating color pattern depicting the unique and unifying perspectives of each person in VAESP.  These individuals are strong and can stand on their own, but choose to work together for the common good and bring unity to the whole.  VAESP is their commonality.  They share the goals of the organization, to care for students’ best interests, fight for safe and fair working conditions, and advocate for the membership.
