We are honored to receive this award and we look forward to celebrating with the business community in January.”

Vermont Chamber of Commerce President, Betsy Bishop, said, “Hickok & Boardman has been a keystone of the Vermont economy since 1821. Their record of dedication to Vermont as a service provider, employer, and community leader sets a high bar for doing business in Vermont. I know I speak for many when I say we are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to celebrate with the Hickok & Boardman team at the Vermont Economic Conference.”
