As we rebuild from the economic downfall of COVID-19, working together in new, innovative and creative ways is more important than ever. In this webinar we will explore how Vermont businesses have cultivated new partnerships to build a more resilient, community supported and sustainable economy.

 

Join VBSR and four member presenters who will share stories of partnerships that are strengthening our communities. We hope to inspire fellow VBSR members to consider “outside the box” thinking in terms of partnerships that serve the community, the environment and/or support employees.
