Corey Parent, a former Republican legislator who served two terms in both the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont Senate, has joined Leonine Public Affairs in Montpelier as director of business and municipal affairs. Parent’s consulting firm, Forty-Four Seven Strategies, has merged with LPA, expanding their scope of services to include municipal and business consulting.
“We’re thrilled to have Corey join our team,” said Nick Sherman, president of government relations at LPA. “Corey’s extensive background of public service in state government and work with Vermont municipalities brings a fresh perspective, new set of skills and unique expertise to our firm.”
Parent will lead the expansion of LPA’s municipal services practice and expand the scope of the firm’s business services practice.
Parent represented St Albans City and Southeastern St Albans Town in the House of Representatives from 2015 to 2019, and Franklin County in the State Senate from 2019 to 2023. Before his consulting work with Forty-Four Seven Strategies, he was director of operations for the town of St Albans.
Parent is a graduate of St Lawrence University and is pursuing an MBA from Clarkson University.
