It's been a long time since Rural Vermont's members gathered in person for our annual meeting, but 2022 is the year this treasured tradition returns! Please mark your calendar for Saturday 10/22 from 5-8pm at the Bethel Town Hall. We’ll be celebrating our progress and celebrating all of you - the incredible community of supporters who make our work possible! Join Rural Vermont staff, Board, and fellow members for live music, a shared meal and cash bar, art-making, our 2022 Board election, and more.
This year’s meeting is dedicated to Carl Russell, a Board Member Emeritus who passed away this summer.
Rural Vermont’s Annual Meeting is FREE for all Rural Vermont members. Not a member? Join for $35+ in advance or at the door.
Our Annual Meeting is sponsored by our Partner Members with lead support from Action Circles & Meadows Bee Farm.
