Annual Vermont Governor's Conference on Recreation
From its beginning in 1943, the Vermont Governor's Conference on Recreation has been designed to bring together Vermonters who share an interest in parks, trails, recreation, open space & leisure opportunities. Sixty years later, we invite our colleagues from throughout New England and beyond to join us as well. Each year, the Conference Committee strives to plan a schedule of educational programs of interest to the diverse group of professionals, board & commission members, volunteers, students & other interested citizens who come to gain new knowledge & skills. The Exhibit Hall has grown to host as many as forty vendors, providing a great chance to meet face-to-face with a variety of recreation product suppliers. The Governor's Conference is a great networking opportunity for students, volunteers, professionals and commercial vendors. The day's events include a "Best of Vermont" Silent Auction that boasts 190+ items, nearly 20 different educational sessions to choose from, and a nationally recognized keynote speaker.
The 65th Annual Vermont Governor's Conference on Recreation is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1, 2008 at Lake Morey Resort and Conference Center in Fairlee, Vermont. Conference materials are available below for vendors and delegates.
