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.

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.

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 project has positive environmental impacts consisting of the reduction of erosion and sediment movement into the adjacent waters of the state and improved reliability and resiliency of the adjacent municipal sewer and stormwater systems. This project additionally involves impacts to wetlands and floodplains in the form of permitted wetlands impacts and de minimus floodplain impacts. Otherwise, this project may have been eligible for Categorical Exclusion from detailed environmental review; additionally, the direct and indirect environmental effects of the project are still not significant enough to necessitate an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Department's environmental review procedures require a 30‐day public comment period following the issuance of a Notice of Intent to Issue a Finding of No Significant Impact. If no public comments received during that period demonstrate that this Notice of Intent is in error, then the Finding of No Significant Impact will become effective.

In addition to compromising the snowmelt. structural integrity of the dams, mass releases would also endanger the very communities that these dams are built Because of its size, Lake Champlain can store a lot of to protect. water; the flood control dams and reservoirs in the basin, which are very small in comparison to the lake, do not When conditions force the release of more water than significantly change water levels of the lake and river as hydropower plants can handle, the increase in water they release water. levels immediately below the dam will be much greater than the increase on Lake Champlain. This is true even during high water and flooding events. Consider, for instance, when Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River experienced extreme flooding between April and June 2011, the additional releases flowing from Waterbury Reservoir—the largest flood control reservoir in the Vermont portion of the basin, contributed less than 2 centimetres (¾ inch) to the elevation of Lake Champlain and the upper Richelieu River.

(H.C.R.316) Offered by: All Members of the House of Representatives Offered by: All Members of the Senate Whereas, repeatedly throughout the 2009–2010 men’s ice hockey season, the University of Vermont (UVM) Catamounts displayed their considerable playing skills, and Whereas, the Catamounts’ winning ways were especially on display at Gutterson Fieldhouse, where they finished the season with a commendable 10–5–3 record, and Whereas, at the Hockey East tournament, the Catamounts, despite being ranked eighth in the ten-team conference, twice defeated the top-seeded University of New Hampshire in a best of three-game elimination round, and Whereas, these victories, which surprised many college hockey observers, raised UVM from 19th to 14th nationally in the USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Poll, and more critically in the Pairwise Ratings, the formula the NCAA uses to select its 16 men’s hockey tournament teams, and Whereas, the No. 14 Catamounts traveled to St. Paul, where they faced the No. 5 University of Wisconsin Badgers in first-round NCAA competition, and Whereas, the Badgers scored the opening first-period goal, but the Catamounts minutes later evened the score, and VT LEG 259005.1 No. R-471 Page 2 Whereas, UVM scored again, creating a 2–1 Catamount lead at 15:44 of the first period, and Whereas, the Catamounts’ good fortune proved temporary, as the Badgers scored

  • 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.
