Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

      At its meeting of December 20, 2007, the Board of Directors regretfully accepted the resignation of Janice B. Case, effective December 19, 2007. Mrs. Case will be on a slate of 4 nominees for election to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation ("NERC") Board of Trustees at the Annual Meeting of the Member Representatives Committee on February 11, 2008. To avoid a potential conflict of interest, Mrs. Case has committed to resign from the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation ("CVPS") board and committees prior to the NERC meeting in February. The opportunity to serve on the NERC Board is an outstanding career achievement for Mrs. Case after nearly 25 years in the electric utility business.

      Mrs. Case has been a member of the CVPS Board since 2002 and has served on the CVPS Audit Committee since her election in 2002. In accordance with the Company's By-laws, the Board determined that it will reduce its size by one member, from ten to nine, thereby fixing the Board size at nine members.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

      As described above the Board of Directors has fixed the size of the CVPS Board at nine members. See "Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers." above.
