Staffed by part-time regional coordinators and formalized as a statewide association (Vermont Association of Regional Partnerships), membership includes individuals and families served by human services and education programs; other community citizens; non-profit and state providers of health, education and human services; economic development representatives, and business leaders. Their role is to develop and implement local strategies for improving the social well-being of Vermonters, to engage diverse community members as partners, and to mobilize community resources to enhance local support services and systems to improve outcomes.
