August 23, 2024: Week in Action

We’re excited to share that the Non-Management, Correction, and Supervisory Unit contracts are now available on the VSEA website, effective July 1, 2024. Also, we’re offering mileage and child-care reimbursements for those attending our Annual Meeting on September 7 in Montpelier. There will be several cash prizes for in-person attendees. Read on for updates on how VSEA members won’t pay the new Child Care Contribution tax, new staff members, for information about how to get free tickets to the Champlain Valley Fair, and about our Wellness Incentive program. Links below for more information about each of these topics.

Note: VSEA’s Annual Meeting is being held at the Capital Plaza Hotel in Montpelier. Week In Action incorrectly lists the location as the Hampton Inn in Colchester. Apologies.

Great turnout last night for VSEA’s annual Day at the Races event at Thunder Road in Barre. Prior to the racing, VSEA members and their families are pictured here enjoying a barbecue dinner provided by VSEA.

Fred Fleury, who drives a car sponsored in part by VSEA, must have known VSEA was in the house because he placed fifth in his race, which is well within his goal of finishing in the top ten. Fred almost took fourth.

Thanks to everyone who attended last night’s event!
