The Vermont Chamber of Commerce is a founding partner of Vermont Civic Connect, a new program launched by the Vermont Secretary of State’s Office to help businesses and nonprofit organizations improve civic engagement and education across the state.

Vermont Civic Connect provides participating organizations with trusted, nonpartisan information and resources on voting and civic engagement. Employers can use these official resources to help employees access accurate election information and encourage informed civic participation.

“Businesses have a unique ability to foster that sense of belonging by helping employees access trusted, nonpartisan information and creating a culture that encourages participation,” said Vermont Chamber President Amy Spear.

The launch of Vermont Civic Connect complements the Vermont Chamber’s recently released 2025–2026 Legislative Biennium Report, which includes a civic engagement section with nonpartisan resources for employers and employees. Together, these initiatives reinforce the Chamber’s commitment to expanding access to trusted civic information across Vermont.

Businesses and nonprofit organizations committed to improving civic engagement and education across the state are encouraged to learn more about Vermont Civic Connect through the Vermont Secretary of State Services.
