You are invited to the George home for a chance to meet two great women and learn more about the Emerge Vermont Women Leaders for a Democratic Future Training Program.
Sarah Mcall is the Executive Director of Emerge Vermont. Sarah will talk about why it is so important to encourage women to run for office and how the Emerge VT training program inspires women to run. If you have ever thought about running for office or have considered working on someone's campaign, this will be a talk you want to hear.
Dawn Ellis is a graduate of Emerge Vermont's inaugural Class of 2014 and is a candidate in the Vermont State Senate race to represent the Chittenden District. She will talk about her experience in the program and why she is running for office.

If you aren't currently registered to vote and want to be, you can either go to the city clerk's office at City Hall, stop by the Department of Motor Vehicle office on North Avenue or contact one of your city councilors and ask them to arrange for someone to register you to vote. It's that easy to make sure your voice is heard!
To be eligible to vote in Vermont you must:
1. be a citizen of the United States;
2. be a resident of Vermont and a resident of the town in which you apply to be added to the checklist;
3. take, or have previously taken, the Voter's Oath (formerly called the "Freeman's Oath"); and
4. be 18 years of age or older (or will be eighteen on or before the day of election).
If you meet these qualifications, the completed application form must be submitted to the City Clerk's office. The Clerk will present your application to the Voter Registration Board. If the Board approves your application, you will be added to the checklist and become a registered voter in Burlington.
