Professional Consultant Services As the Superintendents Association, we proudly celebrate the invaluable contributions that retired and former superintendents continue to make through their consulting work. Recognizing the vital role they play in supporting and advancing our field, we are pleased to offer Affiliate Members the opportunity to showcase their services through our Association. This benefit is a tribute to the dedication and expertise that these professionals bring to the education landscape in Vermont. Through our Welcome Newsletter and website, we highlight these consultants, providing them a platform to share their knowledge and the impactful work they are doing. Please note, this program serves as a resource and is not an endorsement of the consultants, but rather a way for them to connect with our broader community and continue contributing to the field they have served so passionately.
