Councils

Promoting and Facilitating Continuous Improvements

Human Resources Council & Safety Council

Vermilion Advantage, in partnership with the Danville Area Community College Corporate & Community Education Division, strives to meet the needs of all business people in the human resource and safety fields.

This council meets to share and apply collective knowledge, skills, and experiences for the purpose of promoting and facilitating continuous improvements.

The traditional forum for this group includes tours of other local businesses, discussion relating to human resource and safety issues, sharing of forms and policies, and colleague networking. The Council also brings in speakers who make presentations and conduct training on topics of concern to the professions.   

In many businesses locally, especially the smaller ones, the HR person and the Safety person may be one and the same. Also, because so many of our topics pertain to both groups, we combined what was two separate councils (formed in the 1990’s) into one council in 2021. Some topics may lean more toward HR, some towards Safety, and some pertain to both – we let invitees determine which topics would interest them specifically. 

Examples of past presentations include OSHA updates, presentations by first responders, changes in employment law, Fall Protection, recognizing mental health issues, substance abuse, and more.

Inter-Governmental Planning Council

The Intergovernmental Planning Council was formed in 1997 to plan, coordinate and prioritize the major infrastructure components needed to propel our county forward.

The main objectives are:

  1. To annually coordinate and plan among the key public-sector bodies regarding capital improvement needs and plans for road and utility improvements;
  2. To determine which projects require outside state or federal assistance to proceed;
  3. To prioritize those projects needing additional capital and provide a signed, agreed upon cost and prioritized list to our state and federal legislators prior to the commencement of their budgeting processes;
  4. To align capital improvement plans to prevent duplication of effort (e.g. a road being repaved or improved, only to be torn up months or a year later to install new water line, etc.).

 

The Council meets quarterly on the 1st Thursday of the month. Contact Tim Dudley for more information.
