The Board of Directors of CVEDC are delighted to invite you to join us for our annual meeting at Capitol Plaza Hotel.

2024’s Keynote will be delivered by Senator Peter Welch. We thank the Senator for his strong collaboration with the work of CVEDC to support our region’s economic development and are thrilled he can join our 48th Annual Meeting.

This event is hosted in part through a grant from the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, as well as through the kind sponsorship of Community National Bank, Northfield Savings Bank, National Life, E.F. Wall, and Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom.

Our annual board meeting will be followed by drinks, dinner, and great conversation. We will be presenting awards recognizing our business of the year and innovator of the year.

The annual event is a celebration of the work done by and for business owners in Central Vermont, and helps fund raise to support our work. Our sponsors would like to be sure all who would like to attend are able to without a barrier. If you would like to receive a sponsored ticket to the event, email Melissa Bounty at mbounty@centralvermont.org or call 802-595-3175.
