The State of Vermont recently received 3 national awards for newly
redesigned agency websites. The Hermes Creative Awards have named the
Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, the Department of Forests, Parks,
and Recreation, and the Department of Fish & Wildlife as Gold Winners in
the Government category.
The Hermes Creative Awards are an annual recognition from the
Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) whose
mission fosters and supports the efforts of marketing and communication
professionals who contribute their unique talents to public service and
charitable organizations.
“As an agency, our core mission is to help Vermonters protect, respect,
and enjoy our state’s natural resources,” said Agency of Natural
Resources Secretary Julie Moore. “One of the most important ways we
connect with Vermonters is through our website. It’s the virtual
gathering place we provide for communities across the state. It contains
valuable information, updates, and guidance on natural resource
management for tens of thousands of people each year. We’re incredibly
grateful to VIC for helping us rebuild our web presence. They helped
transform it into a more user-friendly, approachable space for the
public we serve.”
“Our website is an important outreach tool for us to communicate with
the public,” said Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation
Commissioner Michael Snyder. “Modernizing the look and usability of the
site would have been a challenge for us without VIC’s professional
guidance.”
“Our new website offers the public tremendous access to the many
services and information resources our department provides,” said
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department Commissioner Louis Porter. “Working
in a tight frame, under significant pressure, VIC came through for us
with a website of which we can justly be proud.”
The State of Vermont redesigned the new websites in partnership with
Vermont Information Consortium, LLC, a digital government services
partner that provides a portfolio of online services for the citizens
and businesses of Vermont.
The Gold Winner awards for the Agency of Natural Resources, Department
of Forests, Parks, and Recreation, and the Department of Fish & Wildlife
highlight the State of Vermont’s evolving online presence to modernize
government and reduce costs for individual citizens, families, and
businesses.
