Meetings/events

Education and training opportunities for resident service coordinators are typically offered through regular VRSC meetings and through conferences in Vermont, New England, and other locations.

VRSC meetings

Meetings are a valuable tool for resident service coordinators to learn from professional experts, engage in discussions among themselves, and conduct peer supervision sessions. Meetings take place on a quarterly basis, with a winter hiatus to reduce members' having to drive in inclement weather.
