VEPC appoints new Executive Director

Abbie Sherman has been appointed the new Executive Director of VEPC.

Many are no doubt already aware of Abbie’s diligence, talent, and service to Vermont Economic Progress Council (VEPC) during her tenure here at the Department of Economic Development (DED).

We are confident that she will continue to serve the VEPC board, Vermont businesses, and municipalities very well in her expanded capacity.

In addition to her duties with VEPC Abbie has served as an integral member of the DED assisting wherever there had been bottlenecks due to the increased demands placed on us for business assistance due to COVID-19.



Abbie is also the current president of the Vermont Government Finance Officers Association. This varied experience gives her the unique depth and breadth of understanding of the issues facing businesses and municipalities throughout the state of Vermont.



She will serve Vermont and Vermonters very well in this position and will be able to hit the ground running.
