Associated Insurance Systems Services, Inc., an African-American owned business, won the terrorism insurance coverage policy contract from the Department of Risk Management in April 2007. The contract covers almost $20 billion in state property from damage due to terrorist attacks, foreign or domestic.
What We Do
The Secretary of Administration oversees general government operations to ensure efficient and effective management of the people’s resources.
The nine state agencies in the Administration secretariat manage the state’s real estate portfolio, serve as the state building official, administer employee policies and benefits, oversee procurement, and provide laboratory services.
Administration agencies also promote business opportunities for Small, Women and Minority owned businesses, supervise elections, direct state funds to constitutional officers and public broadcasting entities, oversee charitable gaming, and safeguard human rights.
Greetings to All,
I am elated to announce the Civil Rights Memorial Dedication celebration!
Please mark your calendars for the Symposium on July 20, 2008 at the Library of Virginia and the unveiling and dedication on July 21, 2008 at the State Capitol. Please also help spread the word by forwarding the attached announcement to colleagues, friends and family and posting it on bulletin boards. This is an historic event that you don’t want to miss . . . the installation of a civil rights memorial at Virginia’s seat of government.
I look forward to seeing you at the celebration! More details will follow regarding registration information and additional signature events.
Best regards,
Viola O. Baskerville

The Department of General Services is establishing a central Virginia pilot program that will pre-qualify all small, women and minority construction businesses for renovation projects under $500,000. The program is not only for state agencies but all public bodies and will allow agencies to consider a pool of businesses for any project under this amount without having to go out to bid.
Proposals are currently being evaluated. Look to these pages for updates as the pilot progresses.
