VSEA Staff

Meet The VSEA Staff!

Meet the people who come to work every day at VSEA headquarters prepared to represent Vermont state employees on contract and legal matters and do whatever is necessary to ensure the protection and enhancement of VSEA members’ wages, benefits, safety and health protections, and other working conditions.

In addition, HQ staff is also busy every day keeping members’ up to date, disseminating educational material(s) to the membership, and helping ensure VSEA members are conducting effective campaigns around contract issues or working conditions.
