Which VSEA Chapter Will Win The 1st Annual Will Wells Memorial Food Drive Challenge?

As in years past VSEA is again 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.

Want to help boost your VSEA Chapter’s donation total? Donate online or find out how to donate by mail here.

Help your Chapter win by sharing this post with your colleagues. Thank you in advance for your donations to this great cause!

Here are the Chapter totals to date!

VSEA Council Members Meet To Begin Planning For 2023

The VSEA Council is meeting in Montpelier today (and by Zoom) to discuss union business, including the 2023 legislative agenda, an operating budget, a Roberts’ Rules primer, and a union-wide member recruitment plan.

VSEA appreciates these member activists taking time to tend to the union’s business to help steer VSEA into 2023.

There are vacancies on the Council for VSEA members who are interested in making a difference by joining the VSEA Council. To see a list of current Council Chapter and Departmental members and vacancies, please visit this webpage.
