Our 2023 Compensation & Benefits Survey is Now Open!

On 5/8, we emailed this year's VLCT Compensation and Benefits survey to one person at every member town, village, and city. That person can enlist others to help respond accurately. Responding garners FREE digital and print access to thousands of municipal officers' payroll & benefits data plus related info such as road mileage, tax department data, and population statistics. This is a $100 value and supports your hiring and budget planning! Responding also enters the municipality in a drawing for a new iPad!
