VBSR members and forward thinking business professionals are invited to attend the next
VBSR Networking Get-Together on May 1, Co-hosted by Small Dog Electronics and Green Mountain Power
(GMP). The event, held from 5:30 to 7:30, will feature networking, great food and drink, tours of GMP’s Energy
Innovation Center and a celebration of the Small Dog Electronics Rutland store’s one-year anniversary.
The evening will begin at GMP’s Energy Innovation Center with a cash bar, networking and a chance to learn
more about the new Energy Innovation Center. After experiencing how the space helps GMP to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of energy use, attendees will move next door to Small Dog’s retail location to toast
the store’s one-year anniversary, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and learn what SR practices are being carried out by
the company.
“We’re putting together a unique event,” noted VBSR Communications and Development Manager Scott
Buckingham. “Rutland has been reinventing itself and is doing a great job of embracing not only new
development, but sustainable business practices.” Buckingham credited the resurgence as the reason the
VBSR Get-Together will be held at two locations. “With so many creative things going on Rutland, we felt we
had to showcase more than one business; more than one story.”
The Networking Get-Together is free to attend and open to anyone interested in the triple bottom line approach
to business. To learn more about the event, register to attend, or join Go! Vermont, Progressive Asset
Management and Vermont Energy Investment Corporation as event sponsors, visit www.vbsr.org.
