First and foremost, I wish to thank you for your interest in the Vermont Consultants Network.
Whether you are a member or one of many guests who attend our meetings, we appreciate your commitment to professional development and relationship building which remains at the heart of this organization.
In the coming months we will be launching new initiatives which we hope you will enjoy. For example, we are planning to launch a pilot program for video conferencing of our monthly meetings. While our meetings will continue to be held at NPI at 8am on the second Thursday of each month, video conferencing will allow consultants outside of Chittenden County to participate more easily. We look forward to your input on this program.
Additionally, we will be fine-tuning our monthly meeting topics to focus on a handful of themes relating to issues important to us as consultants and as micro-business owners. Furthermore, we commit to increased member involvement in selecting specific topics to be sure they are in sync with your needs. We will be contacting you in the near future for your suggestions and feedback.
We are looking forward to working with you to help make the VCN an important and useful partner in your consulting practice.
