The Office of Federal, State and Community
Relations
connects the
University of Vermont to state and national leaders,
government
officials,
and private and public organizations. The office works to develop
productive
relationships with decision-makers at the
state and national level in
order
to improve their understanding of the University's contributions to
Vermont
and to society at large. The office is committed to keeping the
University
community informed of the impact of state and federal actions on the
University
and higher education in general.
The Office of Federal, State and Community Relations is responsible for
the
development
and implementation of comprehensive
strategies to achieve the
University's
funding and public policy objectives in the legislative and regulatory
environments
in which it operates. Special emphasis is placed on monitoring
and providing
expertise on issues pending in the Vermont
legislature and executive
branch
and working closely with Vermont's Congressional delegation and
national organizations
in support of higher education. The office also coordinates the
University's grass roots initiatives that communicate state interests
to the
University
and ensure that Vermonters are well informed of the activities,
priorities,
and importance of the University throughout the state.
