Training, Professional Development & Learning Opportunities Agency of Human Services - Barre Updated as of Thursday, July 5, 2007 New Listings are in Italics It’s useful, every so often, to remind everyone that the audience for this list is quite broad – it includes state employees (Barre AHS), various AHS central offices, local community providers, partners & stakeholders, other state employees, local legislators & the general public – as such, we post listings that are open to the public & appeal to as broad an audience as possible. Lastly, while we’re willing to post events that are statewide in nature & outside of our area, generally, this listing focuses on central Vermont.
