Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) is excited to announce the formation and launch of a Southern Vermont VBSR Chapter. Designed to give forward-thinking professionals an ongoing forum to network with like-minded peers, learn about operating their businesses in a socially responsible context, and discuss issues unique to the region, the chapter is open to VBSR members and guests from Rutland, Windsor, Windham, and Bennington counties. The first Southern Vermont VBSR Chapter Meeting will be held February 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, at the Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro.
‘VBSR Chapter meetings are a great, informal way for our members to stay connected,’ said VBSR Executive Director Andrea Cohen. ‘We are thrilled to be working with C.S. Wurzberger, known as ‘The Green Up Girl’, to organize and launch these meetings, and provide our Southern Vermont members with opportunities to advance their commitment to socially responsible business practices and address issues of importance to the region.’
The kick-off meeting will consist of an evening ofchapterplanning and organizing, networking with colleagues and peers, and a chance to speak with VBSR Development and Communications Manager Scott Buckingham. Additional meetings are scheduled for March 11 and April 8. The events are free to attend and RSVPs are appreciated. To learn more, RSVP or become a chapter sponsor for $100, visit vbsr.org.
