VSEA is sending thanks to the ESD Central Office for recently conducting a holiday gift auction to raise funds to donate to the Will Wells Food Drive Challenge. The effort was very successful and the office raised $1,042 to donate!! Outstanding.
The challenge remains until the end of the month and VSEA members and Chapters are encouraged to continue contributing.
VSEA members belonging to the Non-Management, Supervisory and Corrections Units should have received an email this morning from VSEA Labor Relations Director Gary Hoadley, summarizing the terms and conditions VSEA Executive Branch Unit Bargaining Teams agreed to with the State.
Review the summary and, if you are an NMU or Supervisory Unit member with a comment or question, please attend one of the upcoming scheduled explanation meetings.
If you did not receive the emails or if you would like to view them again, please select your bargaining unit from this list:
The VSEA Board of Trustees is pleased to be sponsoring the second annual Will Wells Fundraising Challenge benefiting the Vermont Foodbank. The competition honors the late Will Wells; a VSEA member/activist who a few years back facilitated VSEA’s participation in the Vermont Foodbank’s annual virtual fundraising drive. Because this cause was so important to Will, the Board voted unanimously to name VSEA’s annual year-end friendly Chapter competition after him.
As in years past–and thanks to Will laying the groundwork–VSEA is challenging every VSEA Chapter and its members to raise as much money as possible between now and December 31 to provide meals to a “virtual food drive” for the Vermont Foodbank. Let’s see which VSEA Chapter can raise the most money for this very worthwhile cause that benefits so many Vermont families during especially difficult times. Again, the VSEA Board of Trustees voted to start each Chapter off with a $200 donation.
Longtime VSEA activist and leader Heather Pembroke recently announced she would be stepping down from her elected Board of Trustees seat due to a promotion to management. Because there is still more than a year remaining in Heather’s current term, an election is required to fill the seat.
Recently, VSEA’s Elections, Rules & Nominating Committee emailed a notice and other important information about the open seat to all Supervisory Unit members. The deadline to file your petition is 4:30 PM on Tuesday, December 26.
