Executive Order No. 22-2 (No. 30-86) [Vermont Life Advisory Board]
WHEREAS, for 40 years, Vermont Life magazine has been an important quarterly expression of Vermont’s attributes, values,
and people, and has helped make the beauty, heritage, and special characteristics
of our state known nationwide; and
WHEREAS, for many years a group of professional Vermont photographers, writers, and
experts on Vermont have given generously of their time and talent to assist and support
the editor and staff of that magazine, and have, therefore, helped maintain its high
quality and independent viewpoint; and
WHEREAS, Vermont Life magazine this year celebrates its 40th anniversary as a publication;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Governor Madeleine M. Kunin, by the authority
vested in me, do hereby order as follows:
