2017 Vermont Mentoring Symposium
Organized by Mobius and the Program Leadership Council, the 2017 Mentoring Symposium was an opportunity for mentoring program professionals throughout Vermont to come together to collaborate, share, and learn from one another. The symposium featured workshops and networking, a mentor/mentee panel facilitated by Rebecca Holcombe, Vermont Secretary of Education, a guest appearance from Congressman Peter Welch, and speeches by Katarina Lisaius from the office of Senator Bernie Sanders, Diane Derby from the office of Senator Patrick Leahy, and closing remarks by DCF Commissioner Ken Schatz.
