Federal Transition for Rural Communities
April 3, 2025 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM | Virtual
Join us to discuss the impacts of the recent federal transition. How will it affect our communities, local volunteer groups, nonprofits, businesses and municipal and regional services? We will hear from non-partisan statewide leaders to learn how they are adapting, including Melissa Bounty from CVEDC, Chris Cochran from DHCD, Martin Hahn from Common Good VT, Ashley Berliner from AHS, and Bonnie Waninger from VLCT. Then we will open the discussion to the audience to hear your experience and build supportive connections with each other.
