Fellow Employees                                                         

As we begin our 32nd VtSHARES Campaign, may we all take great pride in the fact that through our combined efforts, $7,177,113.51 has gone to local, national and international organizations to help those in need and improve the quality of life for so many by supporting a wide variety of very worthy charitable services. Certainly our efforts have far exceeded any expectations imagined possible when VtSHARES was established in 1977 as the State Employees’ Combined Charitable Appeal (SECCA).

In 2008, a significant number of employees chose to use the VtSHARES Campaign as their preferred way of making voluntary donations to charities of their choice – most of them local organizations. The total amount contributed in 2008 was $352,115.46!  Thank you to all who contributed to make the 2008 Campaign such a success!

The Department of Information and Innovation is the host agency for this year’s campaign.  Questions about the 2009 campaign can be directed by phone or e-mail to Serena Kemp, DII Campaign Coordinator, at 828-0065 or

Thank you.
