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.
VSEA Labor Relations Director Gary Hoadley posted a new “Negotiation Notes” and VSEA members are invited to get caught up on the latest bargaining updates below.

VSEA members are again being offered the opportunity to enroll in the popular Delta Dental Supplemental Plan for the 2024-2025 plan year. The VSEA supplemental program is designed to enhance members’ current State-provided dental insurance benefit.
VSEA members should have received an email last Friday with all the details. This year’s deadline to enroll in the plan is Friday, November 24. As in years past, members currently enrolled in the plan do not have to do anything, unless they want to leave the plan, which would require a form to be filled out.
If you are not already enrolled and did not receive a copy of the enrollment email, you can view a copy here.
