Selectboard members from across Franklin and Grand Isle counties are invited to come meet other selectboard members from the area, share successes and challenges with each other, and hear about municipal issues being debated in the State House. The Northwest Regional Planning Commission and VLCT are hosting this informal convening and training opportunity to help local leaders connect with one another and to provide a few tips for good governance.

Complimentary pizza and soft drinks will be provided. During the program, selectboard members will be asked to introduce themselves and share one challenge and one opportunity they face as a selectboard member.

Northwest Regional Planning Commission Executive Director Catherine Dimitruk and VLCT Executive Director Ted Brady will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate the conversation.

This event is free, but please register online by Monday, February 12, 2024.
