VISION:
A network for young professionals living and working, in and around Vermont's Northeast Kingdom to provide valuable leadership, relationship and educational opportunities through collaboration with community partners. We are a non-partisan group aimed at promoting the needs of young professionals.

GOALS:

  1. To engage young professionals in leadership development;
  2. To assist young professionals in meeting their small business challenges and opportunities;
  3. Provide opportunities to network, bond and meet new people outside their workplace, both professionally and personally; and
  4. To attract, retain and ease the transition of young professionals into the region.

DEFINITIONS:

  • We recognize the word "professional" to be inclusive, not exclusive, running the full gamut of available employment and traditional and non-traditional educations, all equally deserving of respect and critical to the long-term sustainability of our region.
  • We recognize the word "young" to be dynamic, not static, and its regional understanding may change over time as the demographics of the region evolve.
