Governor Fellows Program
In 1982 Virginia Governor Charles S. Robb, appointed A. E. Dick Howard as counselor to the Governor. One of his actions was to create the Governor’s Fellows Program, a program that invited college students and graduate students to apply to serve for a summer in the Governor’s Office. Each summer 20 or 25 Fellows were assigned to work with members of the Governor’s Cabinet or personal staff. Prof. Howard was in charge of the program from 1982 to 1994.
Governor’s Commission on Campaign Finance Reform, Government Accountability, and Ethics (Ethics Commission)
In 1992, Governor Douglas Wilder appointed A. E. Dick Howard to chair a commission on government ethics and integrity. The commission had the task of revising campaign finance, conflicts of interest, and standards of ethics in government

ERA – Task Force on the Effect of Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment on the Law of Virginia
In 1973 the Virginia General Assembly created the Task Force on the Effect of Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment on the Law of Virginia to advise legislators on how ERA, if adopted, would affect Virginia law. The Task Force looked at labor and employment, property rights, family law, criminal law and military law. On January 30, 1974 the Task Force reported before a joint meeting of the House and Senate Committees on Privileges and Elections in Richmond. The Virginia General Assembly did not ratify the proposed amendment. Professor Howard recalls: “Virginia was the only state in which ERA did not even reach the floor of the state legislature.”
