TELEWORK DAY
Gov. Kaine announces Telework Day
August 3,2009 
 
Gov.Kaine is encouraging individuals, organizations, to telework on Monday Aug. 3 2009.
 "Telework is a family-friendly, business-friendly public policy that promotes work place efficiency, reduces strain on transportation infrastructure, and provides an opportunity to'Green" Virginia." Gov. Kaine said.
Telework Day  follows on Gov. Kaine's June 10th executive order to reduce energy consumption and increase energy effiency at executive branch agencies and instituions.  The goal of Telework Day is to encourage private employers to offer this to their employees on this one day as a catalyst to drive more pervasive telework adoption across Virginia.
