The Windham Leadership Series is a cross-sector forum hosted by BDCC to help leaders across the region stay informed, connected, and aligned around the issues that matter most to Windham County’s economic future.
This gathering will feature Kevin Chu, Executive Director of the Vermont Futures Project. Kevin will share new data and insight on Vermont’s workforce, housing needs, and population trends, and what these shifts mean for Windham County’s economic future. The session offers practical information, space to compare perspectives, and a chance to build shared direction around the opportunities and challenges shaping our region.
We will meet over lunch in a relaxed, conversational setting that supports meaningful connection among business, nonprofit, and municipal leaders. Many thanks to our generous host, the Brattleboro Retreat.
