Nfpa 2016 Annual Convention NFPA 2016 ANNUAL CONVENTION EXPERIENCE THE SWEETNESS OF VERMONT HOSTED BY THE VERMONT PARALEGAL ORGANIZATION HILTON BURLINGTON FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is it? NFPA is the “National Federation of Paralegal Associations,” and its membership base includes paralegal associations and individual sustaining members from around the United States and military paralegals based around the world. The Vermont Paralegal Organization (VPO) has been a member of the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) since January 1995. NFPA holds an annual convention, which is hosted by a local association, each year. This is the first time that the NFPA convention will be hosted in Vermont. During convention, there will be a full-day of CLE sessions for paralegals, several luncheons, one of which will highlight a former presidential candidate as our keynote speaker, networking, awards and recognitions, social events, region meetings, and the policy meeting. On Thursday, VPO will host a full-day of four CLE session tracks, NFPA workshops, an exhibitors’ reception and NFPA Board Meeting. It’s a FULL day! Friday will include NFPA Region Meetings, a networking luncheon, and our social event. NFPA is divided into five Regions, with VPO being a member of Region V. Region V Rocks! Saturday and Sunday are reserved for the policy meeting. The format of the NFPA policy meeting is similar to congressional meetings where policies affecting the paralegal members and the paralegal profession are discussed, debated and potentially implemented, such as PACE, PCCE, legislative monitoring, ethical policies, educational policies, and more. Each association in attendance is represented by a delegate(s). These delegates are provided voting rights by their respective association to discuss, debate and vote on any policy that is presented before the delegate assembly. The Policy meeting is governed by the NFPA President and Board of Directors and a Parliamentarian. Attending the NFPA Annual Convention is a great way to learn more about the paralegal profession, earn CLE credits, meet new colleagues, discuss issues and new ideas, foster friendships, and if that is not enough, get involved. And don’t forget, Burlington, and 1 surrounding towns, are great cities to visit and enjoy. We will cross our fingers for some fall colors to remain for your enjoyment. When is it?

The dress code is business casual for the CLE and the region meetings, and formal business attire for the policy meeting. See below if you want to dress casual on Friday. What to Expect at the Convention? If you have never been to an NFPA convention, prepare for a whirlwind of activities, networking opportunities, and a fun experience. If you are coming to the Convention as a new delegate, be sure to sign up for the “First-Timers Meeting” and sign up for a Mentor to guide you through the policy meeting experience. You will leave Convention with new friends, new contacts, and hopefully some great maple syrup!! Bring at least 100 business cards for prizes, raffles, and to exchange with new colleagues. 6 What Does “Casual for a Cause” Mean? The VPO chose to support the very worthy charity, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta and its Siblings Program, during the convention. Anyone who makes a donation to Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, either with their registration or at the convention, may dress casual and wear jeans on Friday to the Region Meetings. All of the donations will go to the Camp Ta-Kum-Ta Siblings Program. We are also working on other charitable fund raising activities. Camp Ta-Kum-Ta provides challenging, extraordinary experiences in a safe and loving environment for children who have or have had cancer and their families. Along with traditional camp activities squeezed into one magical week, Ta-Kum-Ta offers swimming, athletics, ropes course, arts and crafts, and once in a lifetime opportunities such as rock climbing expeditions, hot air balloon rides, formal dances and lake cruises. The Siblings Program is a long weekend offered each fall to the siblings of cancer patients, with similar activities including light-hearted fun, games, arts and crafts, field games, team building, and an opportunity to connect with other siblings of cancer patients who have experienced similar family challenges. 7 What is the Social Event Planned for Friday Night? The VPO and NFPA have planned an evening of dinner and dancing at the Sunset Ballroom. The Sunset Ballroom is one of Vermont’s most unique special events facilities located atop the Comfort Suites at 1712 Shelburne Road in South Burlington, Vermont. The Sunset Ballroom overlooks Lake Champlain and New York’s Adirondack Mountains offering the best views and Vermont sunsets from a ballroom made up of 80 percent windows and skylights, plus an outdoor patio! You will enjoy a networking dinner with door prizes, a D.J., music and dancing, and a photo booth. Bring your dancing shoes, relax and enjoy good friends, good food and good fun! We will have a bus making multiple trips to the Sunset Ballroom, as well as the Hilton shuttle, to transport you to the venue. The venue is only 4.5 miles south of the Hilton on Route 7 (Shelburne Road), but it will likely take 15-30 minutes (depending upon traffic) to get there. It is somewhat of a high traffic zone during the work commute hours. What is the Weather like and What Should I Wear? October in Burlington can be warm during the day, but cold at night. Last year at the same time, the temperatures ranged from a low of 29 degrees to a high of 70 degrees during the day. 8 Late October usually averages in the mid 50’s during the day with a low in the high 30’s. If you plan to do outdoor activities, we recommend that you bring clothing suitable for cold weather, dressing in layers, and bring a warm jacket in case of a cold front or rain. Being on the waterfront can also be very breezy so dressing in layers and the warm jacket will keep you warm.

Some of the most positive impacts I’ve seen include: Emotional and physical progression that contributes to positive outcome. The Chill program is based on progressing from one state of knowledge and performance to an advanced state in a short period of time. Our program is intensive and focused, and acts as a stimulus that assists our participants in achieving significant personal milestones. A chaperone in Boston told me, “Two years of participation in Chill and my participant is now an active and self-aware young man, constantly referencing Chill’s six themes as he continues to make progress in his treatment program.” Healthy risk taking. One amazing aspect of Chill’s program is that it provides a safe but unfamiliar environment for our participants, encouraging interaction and healthy risk-taking while providing a comprehensive support system. The focus on healthy risk-taking drives interaction as Chill participants are matched up with other youth progressing at the same rate, breaking up familiar peer groups and introducing youth to volunteers and chaperones from outside their daily support system – giving them exposure to positive adult role models and other youth facing similar life challenges. Meaningful interaction that leads to breakthroughs in communication and youth engagement. The youth Chill works with frequently have challenges related to communication and engagement with peers and adults. A long-time Chill chaperone told me that one of their participants had a history of trauma and they decided to introduce them to Chill because the youth’s treatment was progressing slowly and they had run out of ideas.

  • The Chill Foundation
    THE CHILL FOUNDATION 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Visiting a Chill program you’ll see smiles, you’ll hear constant encouragement from both youth and adults, and you’ll see persistence and patience personified over and over again. Through these observations it’s easy to conclude that Chill’s programs are impactful, even if we only consider the positive impact that new and challenging physical activities, coupled with the ability to control their own progression, facilitate for youth who often struggle with focus and action. But anecdotal evidence of impact isn’t enough. When Chill set out to revamp our evidence-based approach to evaluating impact and programming nearly four years ago we decided to take a holistic, 360-degree view of our work and results. We considered the language we used, the appropriateness of the questions we asked, and how each data point would ultimately be analyzed and acted on. We considered the perspectives that would result from the participation of all stakeholders in a Chill program and ensured that our questions would capture those unique A LETTER FROM OUR Inspiring youth to viewpoints and outcomes. We considered research and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR evaluation best practices and then used that knowledge to ensure that Chill’s impact data and reporting could overcome challenges They get to practice building empathy and supporting one withstand the most rigorous academic and youth another.
