In loving memory of Charles Wyatt, BVPA Founding Member...

​Charles Wyatt was a wonderful person who will be missed by many. The contributions made by Charles, and his wife Jan, cannot be overstated.

Charlie served as President of the BVPA. As board members, we often reflect on the vision, passion, and drive that garnered the support of businesses, government leaders, non-profits, and citizens in this community, as it is our intention to continue the legacy that Jan and Charlie set forth.
