Selectboard members and city councilors from the Central Vermont region municipalities (all 20 in Washington County and Orange County towns of Orange, Washington and Williamstown) are invited to meet each other, network, and share successes and challenges in their municipalities. Complimentary pizza and soft drinks will be served starting at 5:30 PM. Location to be confirmed. 

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

This event is free, but registration is encouraged 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, 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).
