VSFA Listserv

A Listserv is a group email discussion list. This feature is exclusive to VSFA members and is our most highly valuable benefit.

Members maintain direct access and communicate via emails with fellow producers and industry professionals. Members are encouraged to email this group to ask industry-related questions, offer advice, and share recommendations.

VSFA uses the platform Topicbox which comes with a whole bunch of bells and whistles including subscription options and message archive so members never miss out on important information.

VSFA staff sends out a Weekly Brief each Monday with pertinent association and industry information on upcoming events, education, funding opportunities, and more.

Legislative Updates

As a VSFA member, you'll receive timely legislative updates through our partnership with the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. These updates keep you informed on key state-level developments and legislative issues that could impact your business, helping you stay ahead in the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
