AGC/VT issues Holiday Challenge to other associations in support of the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund

In their continuing effort to support the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund, The Associated General Contractors of Vermont has purchased 20 Vermont Strong license plates for their Board of Directors.
Our members have already contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars of time and skills to help Vermonters recover from the destruction and devastation of Tropical Storm Irene said Cathleen Lamberton, the associations Executive Vice President. We believe the purchase of these special license plates on behalf of our volunteer board gives public recognition to their strong leadership over the past year.
In making the announcement, Lamberton also issued a challenge other associations and organizations to match the AGC action and purchase Vermont Strong license plates for their board members. Perhaps the volunteer leadership effort of boards of directors of other organizations and associations can be recognized for their priceless contributions through the purchase of the Vermont Strong license plate, Lamberton said.
Members of AGC/VT are very committed to a full recovery, said Lamberton. We know it will take time to repair our roads and structures to pre-storm or better conditions. And we know it will take money to make it happen, she said. We hope other organizations in the Vermont business community will join us in making an investment in the future of our state and its people.
