The Vermont Chamber of Commerce Webinar Series
Our goal is to promote members to our statewide membership of 1,500 companies from Bennington to Newport for contacts and increased business. To accomplish this, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has created a series of webinars that cover a broad range of business issues. Each webinar is hosted by a Vermont Chamber of Commerce member and focuses on their area of expertise. Webinars generally run about 30 minutes. The format begins with the presenter discussing their topic followed by a question and answer session. Participants are encouraged to ask questions about issues that affect their business.
Our webinar series is another benefit of membership, and if you have a topic that you would like to see addressed, please contact Chris Carrigan at (802) 223-0904 or e-mail him at ccarrigan@vtchamber.com.
