To the editor: Getting ready for busy session in Montpelier

I  hope this letter finds everyone preparing for a busy holiday season. During this time of year as a legislator, there are many meetings preparing for the upcoming legislative session, which will start on Jan. 3, 2024.

To that end, I’ve attended the Springfield Regional Development Corp.’s annual meeting. I have met with the Career Technical Center to discuss a recent study on the funding and governance of career technical education in Vermont.

Springfield Hospital held a legislative representative meeting to discuss their vision, current performance, and future strategic planning. In addition to meeting with key stakeholders I also am fielding constituents calls and emails during the “off season.”

Furthermore, in early December, I will be attending the National Association of Insurance Commissioners National Conference in Florida, representing Vermont, and reporting back to the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee.

I am planning to meet with my constituents on a routine basis throughout the legislative session, so please keep an eye out for those announcements.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact me by email at hchase@leg.state.vt.us  or by phone at 802-875-
4663.

Gratefully,

Heather Chase
State Representative
Windsor-Windham District
of Grafton, Chester, Athens and Windham
