The 2025–2026 SHAPE VT Executive Board is excited to build on recent momentum and take our organization to the next level in support of our mission. Guided by the foundational work of the 2024–2025 Executive Board and former SHAPE VT President Lynn Johnson, we are continuing to bring our Strategic Plan to life—first introduced at the 2025 SHAPE Vermont Conference.
This year, members can expect key improvements, including:
Clearer membership processes, numbers, and discount structures
- A fully updated, more accessible website designed to help you find what you need faster
New partnerships with Vermont higher education institutions to offer professional development where you are
A fresh monthly SHAPE Members Newsletter powered by Mailchimp
In 2024–2025, the board began the search for a new Executive Director — see the job posting here — hired a new treasurer, and clarified board roles to ensure strong leadership going forward.
