Central Vermont Chapter Annual Meeting

Hello Central VT Chapter Member!

Please join us for this year’s Chapter Annual Meeting. 

This is an officer election year and if you have been thinking about getting more involved in your union, this is a great opportunity to do so.

Description of Chapter Officer Positions:

President: Chapter presidents are responsible for organizing at least four chapter meetings a year, including an annual meeting where elections are held. You must run those meetings in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order, make sure your chapter follows your bylaws, and help recruit new members in your chapter. You will not be alone! Other members of your chapter will help, and you will have a staff organizer assigned to assist you! Chapter Presidents are all also VSEA Council members.

Vice President: Takes over for the president if they step down or are absent from a meeting.

Clerk: Take notes at each meeting, and make sure those notes are sent to HQ to be posted online for all members of your chapter. Brings their notes to the next chapter meeting for formal approval.

Treasurer: Each chapter is given funds to spend on their members. The treasurer’s job is to keep track of those funds, spend them when approved, and to give a treasurer’s report to members at each chapter meeting.

Council Member: Council members attend four council meetings per year and vote on important union issues. Your job is to attend those meetings, represent your members, and report back to your chapter. Learn more about VSEA Council here.

Hello WRJ Chapter,

Please join us on Wednesday, July 17th, from 12-1 pm for our next chapter meeting. We continue to collaborate on important topics both locally and around the state.

At our latest chapter meeting, we held a vote for the open VSEA council seats. Please join me in congratulating and welcoming our newest council members, Amanda Foley and Brian St-Pierre!

I would also like to announce that the Picnic tables for Laura’s Place have arrived at 118 Prospect Street. I hope this gives employees another reason to get outside, enjoy the weather, have good conversations with our hardworking peers, and honor Laura’s memory. A big thank you to the VSEA Board of Trustees for the support of this project and for the continued dedication of our chapter’s members.

Lastly, I would like to offer an incentive for those who may be on the fence about the VSEA or simply attending a chapter meeting. The WRJ chapter will be raffling off a gift card for those in attendance at the July chapter meeting. Let’s continue to grow and advocate for our needs and wants as state employees. Hope to see you on July 17th.

Chapter President
Neil Heidelmeier
