The Vermont State Archives and Records Administration (VSARA) has an exciting and unique opportunity for a dynamic and energetic information professional to coordinate the Vermont Local Records Program and provide direct, hands-on guidance, support and training to a broad range of local government offices on how to manage their public records and information in accordance with the law as well as state and industry standards and best practices.
