VCRD's Community Visit program is a three-month series of public meetings that includes:
Community members share assets, challenges, and ideas in focus forums.
Community members prioritize action items and sign up for task forces.
On Community Visit Day, community members came together to discuss assets, challenges, and ideas for their future in 4 forums. Topics for discussion are chosen in advance by a Planning Committee of local leaders. Forums were held at the Roxbury Village School (1567 Roxbury Rd.) on Community Connection & Communications; Town Pride & Identity; Community Spaces: Buildings & Green Spaces; and Seniors, Families, & Youth. A listening team of federal, state, business, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders joined the forums and dinner. Photos from the event are available here.
This event includes a free community dinner at the School. Childcare provided at the school during the forums. Need a ride? Call Susan D'Amico at 802-485-5590 or email alyssa@vtrural.org. Interpretation or accommodations available by request, due Feb. 8 by contacting Alyssa at alyssa@vtrural.org or 802-222-6896. Find the Facebook event here.
On Community Meeting Day, community members will come together to review, discuss, and vote to prioritize ideas for action shared in the first forums. Through dot-voting, participants will whittle down a list of action ideas to a few priorities and then sign up to join local task forces that moves those priorities forward.
This session includes free pizza dinner and desserts. Childcare is provided during the forum. Transportation help and reasonable accommodations available by request. Contact Alyssa at alyssa@vtrural.org or 802-222-6896. Find the Facebook event here.
On Community Resource Day, community members come together for the final step in the process. New task force groups build action plans, set the scope of their work, and meet with a visiting team of resource providers and experts to identify available resources and funding opportunities. From here forward, all action is focused at the local task force level. You can sign up to join a Task Force, or choose one to join at the meeting!
This session includes free dinner. Childcare is provided during the forum. Transportation help and reasonable accommodations available by request before December 10th. Contact Alyssa at alyssa@vtrural.org or 802-222-6896. Find the Facebook event here.
