VBSR will honor the chair of a Vermont House committee at the organization's annual Legislative Breakfast on December 15 for her work this year in passing key employment bills. Rep. Helen Head, (D)-South Burlington, the chair of the House General, Housing, and Military Affairs Committee, will be honored for her role in passing Earned Paid Leave and Ban the Box legislation in 2016, two VBSR legislative priorities.
"These two bills will have a significant, positive impact on the Vermont economy," said Sara Newmark, senior director at New Chapter in Brattleboro and chair of the VBSR Board of Directors. "Rep. Head has been a leader on these issues and worked closely with VBSR to craft legislation that benefits employers and employees."
As the chair of the House committee of jurisdiction for those two bills, Rep. Head worked closely with the business community and other key constituencies to craft legislation that was fair, balanced, and effective. She led the charge on the House floor to pass both bills.
