Yesterday VHFA received a Bronze Award from the Vermont Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports as part of the 2008 Vermont Awards for Work Site Wellness, Physical Fitness and Sports.
Gov. Jim Douglas presented HR/Office Manager Martha Panton a plaque at the Work Site Wellness Conference held at the Hilton in Burlington.
We received the honor in the 26-75 employee category.
The awards, now in their 14th year, recognize Vermont individuals, organizations and employers that have made outstanding contributions to physical fitness and sports.
