Vermont Business Magazine AIV's annual meeting is the premier forum for addressing critical manufacturing and economic issues facing Vermont, bringing together leaders from across business and public sectors, and we are holding our 95th Annual Meeting December 16 at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier. This year we are looking ahead to the first new administration since Vermont emerged from the worst of the recession, and we are at a critical juncture in whether and how state government might be an ally or a hindrance in trying to build a more secure and dynamic economic future in the years ahead.
This year’s meeting will feature the four leading candidates for governor, who will address what they see as the key challenges facing Vermont’s manufacturers and economy generally and what they would do as governor to help employers meet and overcome these challenges.
Attendees are encouraged to send us their own suggestions to augment the questions we will be asking the candidates to address, and there will be time before and after the presentations to meet and speak with the candidates directly.
This is a don’t miss event for Vermont’s manufacturing, technology, and other business communities, as well as Vermont leaders in education, workforce placement and training, and economic development.
Members and non-members are welcome to register by going to the “Events” link at www.aivt.org.
Registration is required by December 14, and is $50 for AIV members and $65 for non-members.
