Meet your colleagues Early May, 2020 (new date TBA) for an exciting and informative day at Vermont's State House.  Legislative day is ANA-Vermont's favorite event of the year, where we get to meet and greet lawmakers and advocate for issues important to Vermont nurses. Unfortunately, COVID 19 makes it necessary make it a day where we will have legislators visit us in a format online where we can talk with each other, and see each other, but be at a proper social distance.

We will attend committee sessions, talk to numerous lawmakers, and  possible participate in a press conference.
