Leadership Champlain graduates 32nd cohort

35 leaders to join a robust network of Leadership Champlain alumni

The 32nd cohort of the Leadership Champlain program celebrated their graduation at Hotel Vermont earlier this week.

Since 1989, Leadership Champlain has ensured the community’s most influential and esteemed leaders are knowledgeable about issues, well-networked and passionate about our region’s success. 

This year’s class  completed service projects for Hunger Free Vermont, Turning Point Center of Chittenden County, Burlington Electric Department, Chittenden County Accountable Community for Health, Age Well and Burlington Rotary Club.

“This distinguished cohort of 35 community leaders were trailblazers as they completed their entire Leadership Champlain experience virtually. They spent nine months becoming educated on the different challenges facing our community and serving local organizations while grappling with the many changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Their dedication to our community is inspiring.”

Tori Colarusso, Director of Leadership Champlain
