More than 250 women from
throughout Vermont gathered at Sheraton in South Burlington on Thursday
for the 2010 Key4Women Forum. All proceeds from the 2010 Key4Women
Forum were donated to the Vermont Women's Fund.
"The Vermont Women's Fund is thrilled to once again be the beneficiary
of the 9^th annual Key4Women Forum. The funds we have received through
this event allow us to invest in programs throughout the state that
promote leadership, equality, economic independence and opportunities
for personal and professional growth for Vermont's women and girls",
said Catherine Kalkstein, Vermont Women's Fund executive director.
"We're so grateful to Key and to the women who support us by attending
this inspiring event!"
Lisa Ventriss, president of the Vermont Business Roundtable, received
the Key Achieve Award at the event. The award recognizes a woman who
has successfully led her business or organization and who has
contributed significantly to her community.
"KeyBank has a wonderful tradition of supporting women's professional
development and empowerment through its Key4Women Forums, and I'm
honored to receive this year's Key Achieve Award," said Ventriss. "I
look forward to celebrating this distinction with the many talented and
diverse women in our community who also strive to make a difference
every day."
