AGC/VT Open House Success
Members and in this case above, AGC/VT President Jason Sicard, JP Sicard, Inc. spoke with his Senator, Russ Ingalls from the Essex County District. These interactions are critical for members to speak with elected officials because they are the ones in the field, doing the work that have the specific on site experience our elected representatives need to make decisions.
Continuing the associations efforts to draw attention to Diseases of Despair we were pleased that Reid Wobby was on hand with a table to talk to attendees about our efforts to deal with mental health and drug abuse. It was well received by everyone and it was great that attendees, particularly legislators, were able to see a part of our industry usually handled privately which is our dedication to our staff. In addition to legislators other association executives were able to see the program and will bring it back to their members to save more Vermonters at risk.
Many statewide constitutional officers joined us as well. Pictured above is Secretary Lindsay Kurrle of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development. We were also pleased to welcome State Treasurer, Mike Pieciak who was excited to see the improvements to the building and the opportunities it holds for Vermont. Secretary of State, Sarah Copeland Hanzas also joined the party and spent time talking to members about how Vermont can improve its systems and programs for the many different kinds of businesses. Commissioner Jennifer Fitch of Buildings and General Services came with her crew to celebrate the years of relations between the organization and agency. Also, Governor Phil Scott was welcomed by the crowd to talk about flood recovery and the industry at large.
