Do you know a local official or legislator who is exceptionally dedicated to local government? Use the form below by Friday, July 31 to nominate that person for one of VLCT’s 2026 awards.
The Municipal Service Award is given to a municipal official who has shown an active commitment to strong local government, both within their community and beyond its borders, or to a person outside of local government who works to improve the governance and support of or service to Vermont cities, towns, and villages.
The Legislative Service Award recognizes a member of the Vermont General Assembly who, through their service, has best shown an awareness of the issues facing local government and its capacity for self-governance, and who, through legislative action, has sought to solve those problems and provide local authority on a statewide basis.
From time to time, VLCT presents its Lifetime Achievement Award to a municipal official or employee who has dedicated their career to serving local government, both within their community and through service at a statewide level on a board, commission, or the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
We will recognize our award winners at Town Fair 2026, which takes place at the DoubleTree Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington on Wednesday, October 7.
