ORVANA PROVIDES UPDATE ON ITS BOLIVIAN SUBSIDIARY EMIPA

Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning Positions Itself as Single-Source Home Comfort Provider Across Bucks and Montgomery County

Upper Southampton Township, Pennsylvania - November 03, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Homeowners across Bucks and Montgomery County live in a wide mix of properties, from century-old houses with aging pipes and oil or gas boilers to newer suburban developments with modern systems. When a pipe bursts, a furnace quits in January or a bathroom project begins, many residents find themselves coordinating a separate plumber, heating contractor and remodeler on their own. Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is working to reduce that fragmentation by offering plumbing, heating and air conditioning services under a single company that has served the two counties since 2001.
Rather than specializing in one trade, the company covers a full range of residential and commercial needs. On the plumbing side, services include emergency repair, drain cleaning and hydro-jetting, sewer line inspection and trenchless repair, leak detection, tank and tankless water heater installation and repair, and fixture replacement. From its base in Southampton, Central Plumbing serves communities including Warminster, Feasterville, Trevose, Langhorne, Newtown, Doylestown, Yardley and Chalfont in Bucks County.
Heating work spans furnace, boiler and heat pump repair, maintenance and replacement, covering both gas and oil equipment. Technicians are trained on modern condensing systems as well as older atmospheric boilers still common in the region, and the company also installs radiant floor heating, ductless mini-split systems and thermostats with smart-home integration. Air conditioning offerings include central AC installation, repair and tune-ups, ductless mini-splits, indoor air quality products such as purifiers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, and high-efficiency upgrades. The company says it performs load calculations to size equipment properly and avoid the short-cycling caused by oversized or undersized systems. These services extend into Montgomery County towns such as Blue Bell, Horsham, Fort Washington, Ambler, Glenside, Willow Grove and King of Prussia.
The company also handles remodeling projects, including bathroom remodels, kitchen plumbing upgrades, basement bathrooms and wet bars, walk-in showers and accessible bathroom modifications, coordinated under one contractor. Its technicians work with major equipment brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox and Rheem for HVAC, Weil-McLain for boilers, and Rinnai and Bradford White for water heaters.
"Many households in this area are juggling systems of very different ages, and that often means calling several contractors for one problem," said a spokesperson for Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning. "The goal is to handle diagnosis, installation and follow-up through one licensed team so residents are not left coordinating the work themselves."
Service begins with a diagnosis and a written upfront estimate before work starts, followed by completion by licensed technicians, clean-up and a workmanship warranty with follow-up. The company provides 24/7 emergency service with a stated response time of about 60 minutes, applies no additional charge for after-hours emergency heating calls, and offers a preventive maintenance plan with discounted tune-ups and priority scheduling. Technicians are PA-licensed and insured, with NATE-certified HVAC specialists on staff.
"Transparency and training matter in this trade," the spokesperson added. "Customers should understand the scope and cost before any work begins, and the people in their homes should be qualified for both newer and older equipment."


Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning has served Bucks and Montgomery County since 2001. Additional information is available at centralplumbinghvac.com. Scheduling is handled at 950 Industrial Blvd, Southampton, PA 18966, by phone at 215-322-6884, with the office open 24 hours, seven days a week.

Anderson Lighting & Electric Expands Backup Generator Services Ahead of Winter

November 03, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Anderson Lighting & Electric has expanded its backup generator services, including installation, electrical integration, and ongoing maintenance, to help residential, commercial, and industrial property owners prepare for unexpected power interruptions. The expanded service offering includes generator sizing and selection, professional installation, transfer switch integration, electrical panel connections, and routine maintenance, helping the company meet backup power needs ahead of the winter season.
The announcement highlights the importance of properly planned standby power systems as colder temperatures, seasonal storms, and unexpected utility interruptions can affect properties that depend on reliable electricity. Anderson Lighting & Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving customers since 2005, provides generator-related electrical services designed to address the varying power requirements of different property types.
Backup power requirements can differ considerably between residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Homes may need electricity to maintain heating, refrigeration, lighting, and security systems during an outage. Businesses may require backup power for essential equipment, communication systems, refrigeration, and daily operations. Industrial properties can have additional electrical demands involving specialized equipment and operational systems.
Jeffrey Bernal, owner of Anderson Lighting & Electric in Flower Mound, TX, emphasized the importance of evaluating electrical requirements before selecting a standby generator.
"Backup power is an important consideration for properties that depend on reliable electricity throughout the year," Bernal said. "The right generator system starts with understanding the property's electrical requirements, the equipment that needs power during an outage, and the capacity necessary to support those needs safely."
Generator sizing is an essential part of planning a backup power installation. The appropriate capacity depends on the property's electrical configuration, the equipment requiring backup power, and whether the system will support selected circuits or a larger portion of the building.
An undersized generator may not adequately support the intended electrical loads, particularly when multiple systems operate simultaneously. Conversely, selecting equipment with more capacity than necessary can introduce avoidable equipment and installation expenses.
Anderson Lighting & Electric's generator services include evaluating electrical requirements and helping property owners determine suitable equipment for their intended backup power applications. This planning process helps establish the appropriate system configuration before installation begins.
Standby generator installation requires coordination with the property's existing electrical infrastructure. Depending on the system, installation may involve electrical panel connections, appropriate wiring, and transfer switch integration.
A transfer switch manages the connection between utility electricity and generator power. Depending on the equipment, the transition may occur automatically or require manual operation. Proper installation is essential to prevent unsafe electrical conditions, including electricity feeding back into utility lines.
Electrical panel compatibility, generator capacity, manufacturer specifications, and applicable electrical codes must also be considered when planning an installation.
"Generator installation involves more than selecting equipment and connecting it to an electrical system," Bernal said. "The transfer switch, electrical panel, wiring, and overall configuration must work together as part of a properly planned installation. Attention to electrical safety and applicable code requirements remains essential throughout that process."
The installation approach can vary depending on the property's electrical requirements. Residential systems may support essential household circuits, while commercial and industrial applications can involve more extensive electrical loads and operational considerations.
In addition to installation, Anderson Lighting & Electric includes ongoing maintenance among its backup generator services. Standby generators may remain inactive for extended periods, making periodic inspections and maintenance important for identifying potential equipment concerns before an outage occurs.
Maintenance requirements vary by generator model and installation configuration. Routine attention may include equipment inspections, electrical connection checks, component evaluations, and reviews of operating conditions in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
Property owners should also follow the recommended maintenance schedules for their specific generator systems. Regular professional attention can help identify developing issues and support the equipment's readiness when utility power becomes unavailable.
"Installing a backup generator is only one part of preparing for a power interruption," Bernal added. "The equipment also needs to be maintained and evaluated periodically so that potential issues can be identified before the system is needed. Planning for installation and ongoing maintenance should be considered together."
The expanded service focus comes ahead of the winter and holiday seasons, when unexpected power interruptions can create additional challenges for households and businesses. Heating systems, refrigeration, lighting, security equipment, and business operations may all depend on consistent electricity during colder weather.
Although standby generators cannot prevent utility outages, appropriately selected and professionally installed systems can provide an alternative electricity source when the primary supply becomes unavailable.
For businesses, backup generator planning may also form part of a broader operational continuity strategy. The necessary level of backup coverage depends on the facility's equipment, electrical requirements, and the systems that must remain operational during an interruption.
Anderson Lighting & Electric encourages property owners to evaluate their backup power requirements before an emergency creates an immediate need for alternative electricity. Understanding generator capacity, installation requirements, transfer switch compatibility, and maintenance responsibilities can help support informed equipment decisions.
Anderson Lighting & Electric is a licensed electrical contractor that has served customers since 2005. The company provides electrical services, including backup generator installation, electrical integration, and maintenance, for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Sleep Better Marysville Expands TMJ Disorder Services with Custom Oral Appliance Therapy

MARYSVILLE, OH - November 03, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Sleep Better Marysville is expanding its focus on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder treatment, emphasizing custom-fitted oral appliance therapy for patients experiencing persistent jaw pain, facial tension, headaches, and other symptoms associated with jaw dysfunction. The expanded service focus addresses the relationship between jaw health, nighttime teeth grinding, and sleep quality while providing information about conservative treatment options for patients in Marysville and the surrounding Union County area.
Sleep Better Marysville's TMJ disorder treatment services include evaluation of jaw-related symptoms and consideration of custom oral appliances when clinically appropriate. Sleep Better Marysville, located at 1139 N. Maple Street in Marysville, Ohio, also provides treatment for sleep apnea.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect the joints connecting the lower jaw to the skull, as well as the muscles responsible for controlling jaw movement. These conditions can cause clicking or popping sounds, limited jaw movement, headaches, facial soreness, and discomfort when chewing or speaking. Some patients also experience nighttime teeth grinding or clenching, which can contribute to muscle fatigue and morning jaw discomfort.
Dr. Dawne Slabach is associated with the practice's clinical focus on sleep-related conditions and oral appliance therapy. Their work is connected to Sleep Better Marysville's services addressing sleep apnea and TMJ-related concerns. The practice's approach considers how oral health and nighttime habits may influence both jaw comfort and sleep quality.
"TMJ-related symptoms can have different underlying causes, which makes an individual evaluation important before recommending treatment. Custom oral appliances may be appropriate for certain patients, particularly when nighttime clenching or grinding contributes to their discomfort," said Dr. Dawne Slabach of Sleep Better Marysville in Marysville, OH.
Before recommending an appliance, an evaluation considers the patient's symptoms, dental history, jaw movement, and areas of tenderness. Clicking, restricted movement, recurring headaches, and morning soreness can provide useful information about the nature of the condition. The assessment also helps determine whether symptoms may involve the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, or other contributing factors.
Custom-fitted oral appliances are among the conservative treatment options considered for selected patients. Depending on the appliance design and diagnosis, these devices may help protect the teeth from grinding and manage excessive pressure associated with nighttime clenching. Their purpose and potential benefits vary according to the underlying condition and individual treatment needs.
The effectiveness of oral appliances for temporomandibular disorders is not uniform across all diagnoses. Certain devices may help specific patients, while others may experience increased discomfort or changes in their bite. For this reason, appliance selection, fitting, and follow-up evaluation are important considerations. Treatment recommendations should be based on individual clinical findings rather than assuming that one appliance is suitable for every TMJ condition.
The practice's sleep-focused services also address the connection between nighttime habits and daytime discomfort. Sleep-related teeth grinding may occur without a person's awareness, making morning headaches, jaw stiffness, and facial soreness potential indicators of nighttime clenching. Identifying these patterns can help determine whether oral appliance therapy should be considered as part of an individual's treatment plan.
Beyond nighttime grinding, ongoing jaw discomfort can affect everyday activities such as eating, speaking, and concentrating. Persistent symptoms may also make it difficult to achieve comfortable rest, particularly when jaw tension or soreness becomes noticeable at bedtime or upon waking. Recognizing these effects is an important part of understanding how TMJ-related concerns can influence daily routines and overall well-being.
Treatment planning may also involve monitoring changes in symptoms after an oral appliance is introduced. Follow-up evaluations allow clinicians to assess comfort, appliance fit, and the patient's response to treatment. If discomfort increases or changes in jaw movement or bite alignment occur, the treatment approach may need to be reassessed. Continued evaluation helps ensure that recommendations remain appropriate as the patient's condition and symptoms evolve.
Another consideration in managing TMJ disorders is recognizing that symptoms may develop gradually rather than appearing as a single episode of discomfort. Occasional jaw clicking may not necessarily indicate a serious problem, but recurring pain, restricted movement, or persistent muscle tenderness may warrant further assessment. Understanding when symptoms occur, how frequently they develop, and whether they interfere with normal activities can help clinicians determine the appropriate next steps.
Patients may also benefit from discussing habits that place repeated stress on the jaw, including daytime clenching, chewing-related strain, and nighttime grinding. Identifying these behaviors can provide additional context during an evaluation and help guide recommendations beyond appliance use alone. Depending on the findings, treatment planning may include monitoring symptoms, reviewing oral appliance options, or considering additional professional evaluation when the condition requires a different approach.
TMJ disorders and obstructive sleep apnea are separate conditions, although some patients may experience both. Sleep apnea involves repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep, while TMJ disorders affect the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. Oral appliances used for these conditions also serve different purposes. Mandibular advancement devices prescribed for certain sleep apnea patients are designed to help maintain an open airway, while appliances for selected TMJ-related concerns may address grinding, clenching, or other sources of jaw strain.
Sleep Better Marysville's services address both conditions, allowing patients to discuss sleep apnea and jaw-related symptoms within the practice's sleep-focused care setting. When symptoms overlap, appropriate evaluation helps determine which treatment approaches may be suitable and whether additional assessment is necessary.
The expanded attention to TMJ disorder treatment provides an opportunity for local residents to learn about the potential causes of recurring jaw discomfort and the role of conservative treatment options. See more information here: https://sleepbettermarysville.com/tmj-disorder-treatment/
Patients experiencing persistent pain, restricted jaw movement, clicking, headaches, or suspected nighttime grinding can discuss their concerns with the practice to determine whether an evaluation is appropriate.

Analysis Traces KKR's $2 Billion Garage Door Deal to Auditable Marketing

LEHI, UT - November 03, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
BlueForge Marketing today published a new analysis of the reported $2 billion sale of A1 Garage Door Service to KKR, breaking down why the company commanded a roughly 20x EBITDA multiple when typical mom and pop garage door shops trade at 2x to 6x, and what independent owners can do about it.
The analysis, "KKR Paid 20x EBITDA for a Garage Door Company. Where the Extra $1.4 Billion Went," calculates that roughly $1.4 billion of the reported price sits above even the top of the small shop valuation band. Drawing on PitchBook deal data, a local SEO case study of A1 by Sterling Sky, and $661,396 of tracked garage door Google Ads spend across 11 contractors from SearchLight Digital, the piece argues the replicable slice of that premium is a demand machine a buyer can verify in due diligence: multiple Google Business Profiles per metro, a review flywheel, phones answered around the clock, and call tracking that ties every booked job to the campaign that produced it.

A1's EBITDA grew from $27 million in 2022 to roughly $100 million in 2026, a compound rate of about 39 percent a year, alongside at least 17 additional acquisitions. Through September 28, 2026, 21 private equity backed garage door acquisitions had closed, totaling $4.2 billion and marking the strongest nine months since 2021. The trend has also reached smaller, family owned businesses. On October 29, Wheelhouse announced its purchase of All Star Garage Door, a family owned company with just over 30 employees serving Southern California and Utah.
The analysis also highlights the financial impact of brand recognition and customer response times. Branded search leads cost $66 with a 7x closed return on ad spend, compared to $173 for nonbranded search leads, demonstrating the value of building a recognizable brand. According to CallRail's 2026 homeowner survey, 41 percent of online booked jobs arrive after hours, and 97 percent of homeowners say response speed affects who they hire.
"Owners keep asking what private equity actually pays for," said Adam Loveridge, founder of BlueForge Marketing. "The answer is proof. A shop whose demand lives in the owner's cell phone gets a small multiple. A shop that can hand a buyer campaign history, call recordings, and cost per lead by source gets underwritten. That is a decision owners make with their advertising budget right now."
The analysis also warns owners to own their marketing assets outright. Advertising accounts held under an agency's name, or call tracking that disappears when a vendor leaves, make a business unauditable, and unauditable businesses receive small shop multiples, the piece argues.
The full analysis is available now on the BlueForge Marketing blog.

Aqua-Bright Irrigation & Illumination Announces Year-Round Holiday Lighting Installation Service

SYKESVILLE, MD - November 03, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Aqua-Bright Irrigation & Illumination, LLC is highlighting its professional holiday lighting services for residential and commercial properties ahead of the 2026 holiday season. The Sykesville, Maryland-based company offers customized lighting design, installation, and post-season removal to help property owners prepare their homes and businesses for seasonal celebrations.
The seasonal services are available to property owners throughout the Washington DC Metro region, including Columbia, Howard County, Montgomery County, Annapolis, and Anne Arundel County. Aqua-Bright also serves communities in Northern Virginia. With the holiday season approaching, the company is encouraging residential and commercial property owners to begin planning lighting installations ahead of the busiest decorating weeks.

For residential customers, Aqua-Bright provides customized holiday lighting arrangements that can include illuminated rooflines, wrapped trees and shrubs, decorative wreaths, and other exterior lighting displays. The company uses energy-efficient LED lighting, which generally consumes less electricity and lasts longer than traditional incandescent lighting. Designs are developed according to the property's architecture, landscaping, and the customer's preferences.
An important feature of Aqua-Bright's holiday lighting service is its customer ownership structure. According to the company's website, customers retain ownership of their installed lights, allowing them to reuse the materials in subsequent seasons. Returning customers generally pay for installation labor and maintenance rather than purchasing an entirely new lighting system each year.
The company's commercial holiday lighting services accommodate shopping centers, retail storefronts, office buildings, and other commercial properties. Projects can include coordinated lighting displays, illuminated rooflines, wreaths, and decorative lighting for trees and landscaping. Aqua-Bright's technicians work with property owners and managers to develop lighting arrangements suited to each building's size, layout, and exterior features.
“Many property owners underestimate the time and safety considerations involved in hanging holiday lighting, particularly across rooflines and tall trees,” said a Media Relations spokesperson for Aqua-Bright Irrigation & Illumination. “Our seasonal services are designed to handle those tasks from start to finish, allowing customers to enjoy their holiday displays without managing the installation and removal themselves.”
Professional holiday lighting installation can reduce the need for property owners to work on ladders, access elevated rooflines, or handle electrical decorations in difficult-to-reach locations. Aqua-Bright's technicians manage the installation process and return after the holiday season to remove the displays. The company also offers maintenance services for customers who prefer to keep certain lighting installations in place throughout the year.
The company encourages early consultation to allow adequate time for project planning, design selection, and installation scheduling. Larger commercial properties may require additional coordination to accommodate building access, landscaping features, and other site-specific considerations.
“Planning ahead gives homeowners and business owners more flexibility when choosing their lighting designs and installation schedules,” the spokesperson added. “Each property has different requirements, and early consultations help our team evaluate those needs before the holiday season begins.”
In addition to seasonal holiday displays, Aqua-Bright provides year-round outdoor lighting services, including LED landscape lighting retrofits, low-voltage landscape lighting, and illumination for patios, decks, steps, walkways, driveways, and entrances. The company also performs landscape lighting repairs, system adjustments, and ongoing maintenance for existing installations.
Aqua-Bright's broader services include residential and commercial lawn irrigation system installation, repairs, testing, seasonal maintenance, and winterization. These services allow the company to support multiple aspects of exterior property maintenance throughout the year.
Property owners interested in seasonal lighting services can request consultations to discuss design preferences, installation requirements, and project scheduling. Aqua-Bright offers customized solutions for properties ranging from individual residences to larger commercial locations.
Aqua-Bright Irrigation & Illumination, LLC is based in Sykesville, Maryland, and provides residential and commercial irrigation, landscape lighting, and holiday lighting services throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia. The company specializes in outdoor lighting design and installation, irrigation system services, and ongoing maintenance. Additional information is available at https://www.aquabrightllc.com/.

Bow Tie Solutions, a family-owned electrical contracting company based in Pea Ridge, Arkansas, has formally expanded its residential electrical services for homeowners throughout Benton County, Madison County, and Washington County. The expansion adds a structured focus on home electrical safety inspections and modern lighting installations, reflecting the company's response to rising demand for safer and more energy-efficient homes in the region.
The expanded offering centers on identifying and correcting common household electrical hazards. Through its Bowtie Solutions Residential Electrician program, the company now conducts home inspections that examine outdated panels, faulty GFCI outlets, and overloaded circuits. In addition to hazard assessments, the service covers installation of new outlets, modern dimmer switches, and LED, recessed, and custom lighting systems designed to balance everyday functionality with energy savings.

All work is performed by licensed electricians, including a Master Electrician, and meets applicable state electrical codes. The company has completed more than 500 jobs over four decades of service in Northwest Arkansas.
The process is designed to be straightforward for homeowners. Customers begin by requesting a free estimate and scheduling a survey of the property. They then receive a written estimate outlining the scope of the job and the associated cost, and once confirmed, the work is scheduled at a convenient time. The company emphasizes upfront pricing and on-time service throughout each stage.
"Many of the homes across Northwest Arkansas were built decades ago, and the electrical systems inside them were never designed for the demands of modern living," said Bill Towler, spokesperson for Bow Tie Solutions. "The formal expansion of residential services allows homeowners to address safety concerns such as outdated panels and overloaded circuits before they become serious problems."
Towler noted that the inspection-first approach reflects the company's focus on long-term value rather than short-term fixes. "Improved safety, better energy efficiency, and reliable systems are what homeowners gain over time," he said. "The written estimate gives families a clear picture of the work and the cost before anything begins, which removes the guesswork from the process."
The residential expansion complements the broader range of services Bow Tie Solutions provides, which includes electrical installation for renewable energy and commercial settings, generator maintenance and installation, automated gate installation, metal fabrication, and portable and general welding. The company also provides emergency electrical services for situations that require immediate attention.


Bow Tie Solutions is a locally-owned, licensed and insured electrical contracting company serving residential and commercial clients across Benton County, Madison County, and Washington County. With more than 40 years of experience and over 500 completed projects, the company provides electrical installation, generator services, automated gate installation, metal fabrication, and welding. Its team of licensed electricians works to meet state codes and industry standards on every project, with free estimates available for homeowners and businesses considering new work.

Utah Trenchless Highlights Warning Signs of Failing Water Lines for Lehi Homeowners

LEHI, UT - November 02, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Utah Trenchless, a sewer and drain specialist based in Lehi, is drawing attention to the warning signs that may indicate trouble with an underground water main or water service line. As aging infrastructure and shifting soil conditions affect properties across Utah County, the company is broadening its educational outreach beyond sewer-only concerns to help homeowners recognize water line problems before they escalate into major damage.
Water service lines carry fresh water from the municipal main into a home, and failures in these lines often go unnoticed until significant damage occurs. Utah Trenchless notes that several indicators commonly point to an underlying issue. A sudden and unexplained increase in a monthly water bill frequently signals a hidden leak underground. Persistent wet or soggy areas in a yard, pooling water near the foundation, and patches of grass that appear greener or grow faster than surrounding areas can also reveal a break in a buried line.

Other symptoms include a noticeable drop in water pressure throughout the home, discolored or rusty water coming from faucets, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. Cracks in a driveway or foundation and unexplained dips in the landscape may indicate that water is eroding soil beneath the surface. Utah Trenchless advises that any of these conditions warrants a professional evaluation, since early diagnosis can prevent property damage and reduce repair costs.
Through its Utah Trenchless water line services, the company applies the same trenchless technology used for sewer work to the repair and replacement of water mains and service lines. This approach addresses damaged lines without the extensive digging associated with traditional excavation, limiting disruption to driveways, landscaping, and other property features.
"Many homeowners assume a water line problem will be obvious, but the signs are often subtle at first," said Spencer Ruff, President and Owner of Utah Trenchless. "A slightly higher water bill or a soft spot in the yard can be the first clue that something underground needs attention. The sooner the line is inspected, the more options a homeowner typically has."
The company stresses the role of diagnostics in determining the right course of action. A professional inspection helps identify the location and severity of a leak and whether a trenchless repair is appropriate. Ruff added that education remains central to how the company operates.
"The goal is to help people understand what is happening beneath their property so they can make an informed decision," Ruff said. "Providing clear Utah Trenchless pipe lining guidance in Lehi and explaining the condition of a line is just as important as the repair itself."
Utah Trenchless, serving Lehi and surrounding communities throughout Utah County, Salt Lake County, and the Wasatch Front, offers a range of solutions including trenchless sewer repair, sewer line repair and replacement, sewer line inspection, drain cleaning, septic service, air and hydro utility locating, and trenchless pipe lining.


Locally owned by Spencer and Kourtney Ruff, the company focuses on honest assessments and advanced trenchless methods that address water and sewer line issues with minimal disruption to the properties it serves.

Governor Spanberger Appoints Veteran Military Spouse to Literary Appointment
RICHMOND, Va. - Nov. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- Acclaimed poet, author, and professor, Dr. Latorial Faison has been appointed Poet Laureate of Virginia.
Governor Abigail Spanberger announced the appointment Monday, July 20, 2026. Faison was sworn in on Wednesday, July 22nd. Faison will serve as the Commonwealth's chief ambassador for poetry, promoting literary arts and fostering appreciation for poetry across Virginia.
"It is a profound honor to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia as Poet Laureate," said Dr. Faison. "Poetry is a bridge between people, histories, and hopes. I look forward to sharing the power of poetry with Virginians of every generation and every community."
Faison's laureateship is grounded in the themes of culture, hope, legacy, and lineage, positioning poetry as both a civic practice and a cultural archive—one that speaks to Virginia's past, engages its present, and imagines its future.
Through statewide poetry events, educational and cultural initiatives, community partnerships, and diverse programs, Faison seeks to advance poetry as a tool for civic expression and engagement, human connection, historical understanding, and collective visioning, ensuring that poetry remains accessible, relevant, and transformative for all Virginians.
Faison is an award-winning poet, author, educator, and veteran US Army wife whose literary work has earned national recognition for its exploration of history and culture. A native of Southampton County, VA, she earned a BA in English with a minor in Religious Studies at UVA, a Master of Arts in English at Virginia Tech, and a Doctorate in Education at Virginia State University.
Faison is Assistant Professor of English and a former Department Chair in Virginia State University's Department of Languages & Literature. She is the author of numerous books of poetry, including Nursery Rhymes in Black, winner of the 2023 Permafrost Poetry Prize and a 2026 Virginia Literary Awards Finalist in Poetry. Her writing has appeared in journals and anthologies across the United States.
A former Virginia Humanities HBCU Fellow and Furious Flower Poetry Center Fellow, Dr. Faison has devoted her career to expanding access to literature while mentoring emerging writers and fostering literary communities throughout Virginia and beyond.
The Poet Laureate position celebrates Virginia's rich literary heritage while promoting the role of poetry in civic life, education, and cultural expression.
"Poetry belongs to everyone. My hope is that every Virginian will discover that poems not only tell our stories—they help us imagine the future we can create together."  -Dr. Latorial Faison
