On Saturday, September 12th the first ever Young Professionals Summit of Vermont will take place in Rutland from 10am-4:30pm. UVM’s Coordinator of Design Initiatives, Eugene Korsunskiy, will lead a morning workshop to identify Vermont’s unique advantages and disadvantages and brainstorm ideas to support the growth of young professionals within the State. The registration fee for the event is $20 and includes coffee and snacks in the morning, lunch by Roots the Restaurant and appetizers during the post­Summit social at the Hop’n Moose brewery. Those planning to attend are strongly encouraged to register online ahead of time. For more information about the event and registration, visit www.rutlandyoungprofessionals.org/summit.

I’m excited to attend this event and hear what fellow young professionals are working on, what they think is working in Vermont and what we could do better.
