Affiliation with the LCRCC

The VCWA became an affiliate of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce on October 1st, 2009. The LCRCC is the largest business organization in the state and is in its ninety-ninth year of operation. It exists to ensure that businesses can thrive in ever more competitive state, national and international environments.

"Our affiliation with the Chamber enables the VCWA to continue its mission of promoting international understanding within a stable and non-political environment"; said Al Voegele, Chair of the VCWA Board. "We look forward to engaging with business, academic and community leaders as we face the complex issues of globalization within the context of a changing international political landscape."

"The VCWA retains its own profile, board and non-profit status," said Tom Torti, President of the LCRCC. "This affiliation deepens the leadership and educational offerings the LCRCC can provide its members. It is equally important to underscore that the Council's academic relationship with Saint Michael's College, which has for several years provided an intellectual and academic home, will only be enhanced."

"Saint Michael's very much appreciates the quality and breadth of discussion that VCWA has brought to the campus. We have valued, and will continue in the future, to value the unique international perspective afforded our faculty, staff and students by the VCWA," said Dr. John J. Neuhauser, President of Saint Michael's College.

The VCWA has a new logo and a new address, but its commitment to quality programs remains unchanged. Our address is:
