On Saturday, September 9, VSEA is holding its 79th Annual Meeting! This year’s VSEA Annual Meeting and September Council Meeting are being held in person at the Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa in Stowe, Vermont. An online option will be available for the September Council Meeting only. There will not be an online option for Annual Meeting. For Council members attending online, the Zoom information will be emailed and posted to VSEA.org in the days prior to the meeting. Annual Meeting is your union’s most important event of the year, as members come together to set VSEA priorities and vote on an operating budget (including dues) and bylaw-change proposals.
Please take some time in advance of September 9 to familiarize yourself with the content in the VSEA Annual Meeting Warn, and, if you are planning to attend, please keep this information available for further review during the meeting. If you are not planning to attend, but have comments or questions about something you saw in this year’s Warn, please contact your VSEA Board of Trustees member or a VSEA Council member in advance of September 9.
Hope to see as many members and retirees as possible at this year’s VSEA Annual Meeting!

VSEA is aware that the Freedom Foundation–fronting as the organization “Opt Out Today”– is sending mailers urging members to stop paying union dues.
VSEA members should be aware that this is a coordinated effort, funded by billionaires, with the ultimate goal to weaken unions across our country so bosses can more easily suppress employee wages and benefits. In return, the billionaires become even wealthier.
These letters sometimes falsely claim to be legal notices but know that members are in no way obligated to respond to any letter urging them to leave their union.
Your union will always fight for you, but every member who leaves makes it more difficult for VSEA bargaining teams to negotiate strong contracts with fair wages, good benefits, and workplace safety protections. See the benefits of VSEA membership.
Who and what is the ‘Freedom’ Foundation?
The Freedom Foundation is a front group for corporate special interests. They promote policies in state government that are very bad for public services and state employees.
