Are you seeking connection with those facing similar challenges to you? A place to learn and grow with peers?

VBSR Impact Circles are peer-to-peer networking and discussion groups that provide Vermont business leaders with a forum to connect through shared experiences, grow your network, learn from each other, identify opportunities for potential collaboration, and generate greater environmental and social impact. Deepen the impact of your work while building community!

Groups will meet virtually each month with alternating discussion topics decided by the group members. Specifically this group focuses on topics most relevant to professionals that work in Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) and People & Culture, including human resource leaders interested in the creation and evolution of people-centered workplaces and strong workplace culture.

Meetings will include mini-presentations by group members, facilitated large and small group dialogue, announcements, and resource sharing. Content will be participant-led with coordination and facilitation provided by a VBSR staff member.

This FREE program is for VBSR members.
