Selectboard members and city councilors from across the Central Vermont region (Washington County and towns of Orange, Washington, and Williamstown) are invited to meet each other, network, and share successes and challenges in their municipalities.  The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission and VLCT are hosting this informal gathering at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center. Complimentary pizza and soft drinks will be served starting at 5:30 PM.

Christian Meyer, Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission Executive Director, and Abby Friedman, VLCT Municipal Assistance Center Director, will be on hand to facilitate discussion, answer questions, and provide updates. 

This event is free, but registration is necessary to plan for space and refreshments.

As a training and networking event, this is not a meeting of the majority of governing board members from individual towns and villages, so Open Meeting Law notice isn’t required. Regardless, attendees understand the Open Meeting Law dictates if a majority of its board members attend, they will not discuss specific business of the board that, “at the time of the exchange, participating members expect to be business of the board at a later time”, per 1 V.S.A. § 310(5)(C).
