Five seasoned leaders with expertise in education, business and innovation have joined the Vermont Technology Council. They are Mark Anarumo, president of Norwich University; Kirk Dombrowski, vice president of research at the University of Vermont; Alex Hernandez, president of Champlain College; Lindsay Kurrle, state secretary of commerce and community development; and Pam Mackenzie, a serial technology executive and nonprofit leader.
“These individuals advance the council’s goal of a vibrant, sustainable and inclusive innovation economy in Vermont,” said Frank Cioffi, council chair and president of the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation.
In addition to Cioffi, current council members are Frank Robert Miller, CEO of the Vermont State Employees Credit Union, and John Evans, chair of PC Construction.
With support from Governor Phil Scott’s administration and the University of Vermont, the council works to build a stronger and more sustainable ecosystem for Vermonters by supporting science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. Moving forward, the council is focused on four goals: workforce development, research and development pipeline, innovation culture and infrastructure.
