Last week in Montpelier, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns brought about 80 town moderators together for a pre-town meeting refresher course. They spent the day in workshop sessions with titles like, “Ruling the Unruly” and “Using Rules Tact and Humor to Inspire Civility,” We spoke with several of those in attendance about the challenges and rewards of being town moderator.
