Snelling Center for Government

MISSION

The mission of the Snelling Center for Government is to foster responsible and ethical civic leadership, encourage public service by private citizens, and promote informed citizen participation in shaping public policy in Vermont.

VISION

In 2010, the Snelling Center for Government will be well known and highly respected by the Vermont public as a leading public policy and leadership organization. Its leadership programs will be sought after, effective, and respected with waiting lists of qualified candidates. It will be viewed as a reliable and objective source of information and research on Vermont issues. The Snelling Center will be secure financially with sufficient income from regular annual contributions or earnings on its endowment to undertake needed unfunded public policy initiatives. It will continue to have a relatively small and highly competent permanent staff while making use of qualified consultants as required.
