Transition to new Authority
Timeline and Associated Activities for transition into the new Authority
CIT began the transition from its management of the Innovation and
Entrepreneurship Investment Authority (IEIA) to management of the new Virginia
Innovation Partnership Authority (VIPA) after passage of HB1017 and SB756 in
the 2020 Session of Virginia's General Assembly. That new role - as the VIPA
managing non-profit - became official on July 1, 2020.
To ensure a smooth transition and sustained program operation, CIT’s existing Board
remained in place until future governance could be established. In preparation for the
first VIPA Board meeting, CIT’s Board met for the final time on December 3, 2020 to
approve changes in CIT’s bylaws and articles of incorporation that would allow the
newly formed VIPA Board to also serve as the Board for CIT.
Six of the eleven VIPA Board of Directors were appointed in July by Governor Northam
and a seventh, Virginia's Secretary of Commerce & Trade serving as the VIPA Vice
Chairman, is also in place. As of December 31, 2020, the Board positions allocated for
appointment by the General Assembly's Joint Rules Committee in the authorizing
language are yet to be made. However, the current seven appointees constitute a
quorum for the VIPA and the inaugural Board meeting was held on December 17, 2020.
The following Board Members were present at the meeting:
Vice Chairman - Secretary Brian Ball
Member - Ms. Monique Adams
Member - Dr. Barbara Boyan
Member - Mr. Richard Hall
Member - Mr. Chiedo John
Member - Mr. Kurt John
Member - Ms. Paula Sorrell
At the December 17 Board meeting, several critical actions were taken by the Board to
ensure that CIT is authorized to provide administrative and operational support to the
VIPA and ensure uninterrupted services from programs that require VIPA oversight.
These actions were unanimously approved through a governance resolution and
separate motions that included:
Designating CIT as the managing non-profit and operating arm of the VIPA
Appointing the President of CIT to serve as the President of the VIPA and carry
out the duties outlined in the resolution
Designating the Board of Directors for the VIPA to also serve as the Board of
Directors for CIT
Approving Advisory Boards for the Investment, Commercialization, and
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Divisions at CIT
Approving Guidelines for the first solicitation of the Commonwealth
Commercialization Fund (CCF) to be announced in January 2021.
Delaying the first report on the VIPA Centers of Excellence until December 1,
2021
Delaying the election of VIPA officers until the full Board has been appointed.
The VIPA held its second Board meeting on March 4, 2021, however, the four Joint
Rules Committee appointments have still not been announced. The Board received an
update on CIT’s FY21 goals and objectives and strategies for FY22 planning.
Additionally, the VIPA Board approved the criteria for the Regional Innovation Fund.
Overviews of VIPA’s four centers of excellence (CCAM, CCALS, CCI, VBHRC) were
presented by the directors of each organization.
Significantly, the first solicitation of the new Commonwealth Commercialization Fund
was launched in January 2021, and the first solicitation of the new Regional Innovation
Fund was launched in March 2020. Both programs made awards before the end of
FY21.
In May 2021, the General Assembly’s Joint Rules Committee made the remaining four
appointments to the VIPA. Those members were:
Member – Andrew Ko
Member – Chris Long
Member – Rob Quartel
Member – Angela Reddix
The full Board met for the first time on June 10, 2021, virtually. Key items on the
agenda for the 4th Qtr. meeting included: Approval of CIT’s Operations Plan for FY22,
approval of CIT’s budget for FY22, approval of the recommended name change from
the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) to the Virginia Innovative Partnership
Corporation (VIPC). The Board was provided a timeline for the rebranding effort that
will include SCC approval for the corporate name change.
CIT's Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Division is working with stakeholders in all nine GO
Virginia Regions to establish criteria for the second solicitation of the Regional
Investment Fund (RIF). The criteria were presented to, and approved by, the VIPA
Board at the March 4, 2021, meeting. The first awards from the RIF were made in June
FY21.
Since July 1, 2020, operational funding for CIT and the newly consolidated COEs has
been provided to CIT and then distributed accordingly. Portions of the overall Item#135
appropriation initially required VIPA Board approval but, since an initial meeting of that
Board was delayed pending appointment the full Board, a budget amendment (Item 135
#2.c) was submitted and passed during the 2021 Special Session of the General
Assembly that authorizes CIT's President and CEO to approve and release related
funding. Appropriated funds have been provided to the COEs in accordance with
requirements outlined in the budget language.
The Virginia Innovation Partnership Authority (VIPA) held its first in-person Board
meeting on September 9th in Richmond. In addition to offering the first chance for most
Board members to meet each other in-person, the meeting was significant for many
important actions taken by the Board.
Dr. Barbara Boyan, the Dean of VCU’s College of Engineering, was elected as
the VIPA’s first Board Chairperson.
The Board established five new standing committees and Chairpersons for each:
o Executive Committee – Barbara Boyan
o Finance Committee – Rob Quartel
o Strategy Committee – Kurt John
o Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Committee – Paula Sorrell
o Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee – Angela Reddix
The Auditor of Public Accounts provided a very positive report on CIT’s FY21
audit results.
The Board approved changes to CIT’s Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation to
facilitate SCC approval of the name change to the Virginia Innovation Partnership
Corporation (VIPC).
The President’s Report included a review of CIT finance, operational highlights,
and corporate performance for FY21. This included an assessment of goals and
metrics established in the FY21 operating plan.
The Board reviewed and accepted the Investment Division’s Indirect Investment
policy recommendations
CIT’s marketing consultant, ACG, provided an update on the rebranding process.
We are on track for an early October roll out.
No delays or disruptions have been experienced in any CIT legacy programs because
of the transition to the VIPA. All Divisions are working with their appointed advisory
committees to update goals and objectives that were the basis for the FY22 operating
plan and budget.
In the quarter ended December 2021, the formal announcement to the public of the
name change from Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) to Virginia Innovation
Partnership Corporation (VIPC) was made, including press releases, website and other
social media updates.
To recap the major transition activities that have been completed,
The Board and Board Committees have been established and meet regularly.
The division and program guidelines and policies have been created and funding
is being deployed accordingly.
The managing nonprofit has undergone the name change and rebranding.
At this point, the new Authority has moved into the post-transition phase of operations.
