Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) is excited to present the next program in their new series, “Vermont Conversations: Imagining Our Future”. This series intends to spark civil discourse as we delve into topics crucial to our state and envision a viable future together. The topics this year in the four-part series include healthcare, business, education, and drug addiction as it relates to crime.

The third in the series is “Childcare and Early Education in Vermont” moderated by Betsy Rathbun-Gunn, recently retired after 40 years in early childhood education. Last year, the Vermont Legislature made history when they passed into law a first-of-its-kind comprehensive childcare bill. What are the far-reaching effects of the programs this legislation supports? How can local communities maximize their impact on local families and schools? Panelists are:

• Dimitri Garder, co-founder and CEO of Global-Z International, Inc.
• Laurie Metcalfe, Executive Director, Northshire Day School
• Aly Richards, CEO of Let’s Grow Kids
• Danny Sawtelle, Wealth Management Advisor, Northwestern MutualThe series is sponsored by The Keelan Family Foundation. For more information or to register, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.
