“I would like to join the Vermont Commission on National and Community Service in paying tribute to the outstanding Americorps men and women who have volunteered countless hours this past year supporting Vermont's communities, and communities around the country. The Vermont Commission on National and Community Service, first established by Governor Howard Dean in 1993, works with AmeriCorps volunteers, community volunteers and other organizations throughout Vermont to grow Vermont's dynamic communities. The service to others and civic engagement that the volunteer programs organized by the Commission promote are the cornerstone of Vermont's most treasured values. Being a dedicated volunteer is often not an easy task. The Vermont Commission on National and Community Services allows servicemembers to shine through their vast opportunities and resources for our Vermont- based volunteers.

The experiences of these volunteers will allow them to share their community values with the rest of Vermont and our great country. I continue to be impressed with the achievements our dedicated professionals and young volunteers reach during their inspiring careers.…”
