CHT's Annual Meeting Coming Up

CHT's Annual Meeting provides members, residents and partners an opportunity to look back over the year's accomplishments and forward to the upcoming year's challenges and initiatives. We also recognize affordable housing leaders and elect members to the Board. This year, our meeting is on Saturday, January 28 from 5:30 to 8:30 at the Hilton Hotel on Battery Street in Burlington.

The Meeting includes dinner (chicken or vegetarian entree) and is free. Hotel parking vouchers are available at check-in.

Those who want to attend must RSVP by Monday, January 23 by calling 802 862-6244 or emailing president (at) champlainhousingtrust (dot) org with the number in your party and your meal selection.
