    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.

  • Feldman's Bagels

    Feldman's Bagels

    Feldman’s Bagels Marketing Plan Created By: Emi Cepeda, Chance Foster, and Mariah Rolle Executive Summary: Feldman’s Bagels has been open for a little under a year. Roy and Maddy Feldman, a father- daughter team has been in the bagel business for many years. The business is located on 660 Pine street. The company's vision is to bring authentic New York style bagels to Burlington. They specialize in a product that is made from local ingredients. They make bagels fresh every day along with a variety of salads, soups, and sandwiches. Everything at Feldman’s is fresh including their specialty cream cheese and pickles, which is made in house. As a new business, Feldman’s Bagels wishes to expand their customer base into the larger student market around them. Burlington has almost 16,000 college students in Burlington alone. College students are a great market because they love to go out to eat, they tend to like inexpensive options, and they appreciate local ingredients. With more marketing, and public awareness (particularly to UVM and Champlain College) Feldman’s has a high chance of being the best out of all the competitors towards the scope of bagels. After all, it is their specialty. Core Competency & Sustainable Competitive Advantage: Feldman’s Bagels sustainable competitive advantage is their recipe. They have a master bagel maker named Roy. His experience is invaluable and he produces very high quality bagels that are difficult for competitors to match. This is a very sustainable quality because making bagels always follows along with the same process each and every day, the recipe will always be same.

    Ride. Inspire. Lead

    Ride. Inspire. Lead. annual report 2018 Dear Friends, I was fortunate to visit many of Chill’s forty-six programs over the past year and witness the profound effect we have had on our participants. 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.
