Vermont-NEA invites you and your colleagues in your region to a dinner meeting to discuss the multiple issues educators are facing every day. The Fall District Meetings serve as a listening tour for state officers, board directors, and staff as we begin to set our legislative agenda, build the Vermont-NEA budget, implement our strategic goals, and learn how to best support our local affiliates. We will also be discussing this year’s upcoming elections and the impact of politics on the future of education in Vermont. We hope you'll be able to join us!
