  • 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.

  • 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.

You are seeking professional Facility Conditions Assessment (FCA) services and that requires a very specific skillset, so we have teamed up with one of the leading assessment firms in the nation. Last year FFF and Accruent successfully completed an FCA for the entire Norwich University (NU) campus of 54 buildings, 11 categories of site elements, and all their kitchen equipment. To demonstrate the capabilities of professional assessors I can tell you that we completed the field assessment phase for all of NU’s buildings totaling 1,267,369 square feet in approximately three weeks. The data we collected was extensive and all of it was organized in an industry standardized database. We have included a very detailed description from Accruent of what an FCA is, the power of using it for planning purposes, and how we will create an FCA database for you from which a myriad of reports can be generated. Please do take extra time to read this information because I believe you will find it represents exactly the services you are looking for. We understand that EWSD is also in the process of researching software platforms that will manage the data collected as part of this FCA effort.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, October 11, 2010 Vermont Starts Work with New
    A’s News Clips, Monday, October 11, 2010 Vermont starts work with new parent club MIKE DONAHUE, VERMONT FREE PRESS, 10/7/2010 The Oakland Athletics are looking forward to their Single-A short-season team having a positive relationship in its new home in Burlington, the franchise’s longtime director of minor league baseball operations said Thursday. “We tend not to move. We are more about relationships, getting to know people, knowing people in town,” said Ted Polakowski, who was in Burlington for a series of meetings with the Vermont Lake Monsters. The A’s reached a two-year agreement last month to provide minor league players to the Lake Monsters. The agreement followed the end of a 17-year relationship between the Vermont team and the Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals franchise. “It was more fact-finding, start to break the ice, start to get to know each other,” Polakowski said about his visit. “I think it was a start of a great relationship. The A’s are a very family oriented organization and we are happy with the our new relationship,” Lake Monsters general manager Nate Cloutier said. Polakowski had meetings with Lake Monsters owner Ray Pecor, vice president Kyle Bostwick and Cloutier. They also toured aging Centennial Field, which is controlled by the University of Vermont. Reports for the Commissioner of Major League Baseball say the ballpark has substandard conditions for the playing surface, the lights and the dressing rooms. “Obviously, the facility report says it is not stellar,” Polakowski said of the field. “I’m not sure whether it played into the Nationals hand on leaving, but it may have.
