New for 2024: One change regarding membership expiration may impact some current members. The new policy for all types of memberships will expire at the end of the calendar year. Dues paid at any time during a given calendar year will provide active membership until the end of that calendar year. Dues paid early in the year ensure that your association has a vote at the FOVLAP Annual Meeting. As we transition to this new system, all memberships paid in 2023 are now considered expired, except association memberships paid after Sept. 5, 2023. Since, under the old policy, these members would be eligible to vote in the 2024 Annual Meeting on Sept. 5, 2024, these associations will be granted 2024 membership with no additional dues payment.

Why You Should Join the Federation!
We connect lake associations, lake stewards, and all stakeholders concerned with the health of Vermont’s lakes by being a central source of information about lake issues, and by representing and advocating for Vermont’s lakes. We do this by:
- Sharing information and facilitating communication about issues affecting the state’s lakes and ponds through our newsletter, website, Facebook page, Instagram page, YouTube channel, and our email list;
- Sponsoring a variety of online, hybrid, and in-person events, that bring together stakeholders in Vermont’s lakes and ponds, along with experts from across the country, to learn about new developments and to share information that help all of us to better protect and improve the health of our lakes and ponds as well as their surrounding ecosystems. These include:
-
- The Lake Seminar held annually on the first Friday in June
- The Membership Meeting and ConferenceAnnual Meeting held annually on the Thursday after Labor Day
- Several shorter webinars and online panel discussions held throughout the year on topics such as aquatic invasive species management and funding for greeter programs;
- Advocating with the state legislature and administration on issues affecting our lakes, including advocating for increased funding to support programs for prevention and management of AIS, improvement of water quality, and protection of the health of our lakes and ponds and their watersheds;
- Providing information and updates on legislation and administrative activities that affect the state’s waters;
- Acting as a liaison among lake and pond associations and state agencies, especially the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
We can’t do it without you! Your membership and support of the Federation helps all of our lake associations and lake stewards to continue to work to preserve and protect Vermont’s lakes and ponds for this and future generations!
