VBSR had a successful legislative session due to the great ideas and tremendous support of our members. The 2008 end of session reporT outlines VBSR 2008 accomplishments relating to health care reform, energy supply and conservation, environmental protection and workplace practices.

Looking ahead to this summer and fall, VBSR is planning a member policy survey, summer study groups, a gubernatorial candidate forum, and numerous public policy member forums. We welcome your interest and involvement so please stay in touch !
