House recognizes Northeast Kingdom Collaborative; HCR to designate Feb. 20 as NEK Day introduced
Summary
Representatives welcomed staff and leaders from the Northeast Kingdom Collaborative to the State House; a concurrent resolution designating Feb. 20, 2025, as NEK Day was placed on the consent calendar for consideration by both chambers.
The Vermont House on Thursday welcomed staff and community leaders from the Northeast Kingdom Collaborative and heard brief remarks about the group's regional work. The Member from Burke said the nonprofit has a "successful history of bringing residents together" to address challenges such as affordable housing, rural health care access and flood recovery resilience.
The member said House Concurrent Resolution designating Feb. 20, 2025, as NEK Day at the State House had been introduced on the consent calendar for approval by the Senate and House and was included in the day's addendum. The member asked the House to welcome the group's Executive Director Jennifer Carlo and Abigail Long, chair of the board of directors, who were in the gallery.
The Speaker asked that the guests rise to be recognized. The floor record notes the group's representatives were present in the gallery but does not record debate or a vote on the concurrent resolution during this session.
