Hello Friends,

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa or other holidays. I wish you a warm and wonderful time with your family and friends this season and maybe even a little extra time off for good behavior!   

I want to warmly welcome 2 more 2024 VBRA members – please introduce yourselves to them when you have a chance and help them feel like VBRA family members.  And beyond welcoming them, use their companies and refer them to other members.

Andrew Noh and James Berger – Goodro LLC

Zech Wicker – Bull Creek Builders

It’s not too late to join the Board of Directors!  We will be voting in new board members at our Annual Meeting on January 14^th so feel free to put your name in the running.  You’ll find we’re an easy group to work with and we love new energy and new ideas.  Join us, won’t you?

And if you haven’t already, please register for the Annual Meeting – it’s a wonderful time to reconnect, have some laughs and then attend to business issues of the Association.  This year we are honored to have Vermont State Senator, Kesha Ram Hinsdale join us.  Senator Hinsdale will have time to take questions from members after her speech so please bring issues you’d like discussed with you to the meeting.

As we close out 2024, I thank you for your membership and your contributions to the Association whether it’s financial support or volunteering for the board or a committee, thank you!  I wish you much happiness and success in 2025! 

Warmly, 

Dixie 

Dixie F. O’Connor, President
