The Lawrence Debate Union is hosting the Robert Huber Debate Tournament, kicking off with a debate on lowering the drinking age.  Robert Huber coached debate at UVM for over 40 years and this tournament remembers him.  The Lawrence Debate Union at the University of Vermont was founded in 1899.  It is currently one of the leading debating programs in the world, with competitive success at natinal and international levels.

This important summit brings together Vermont’s Congressional delegation, state leaders, and organizations from both workforce development and aging networks, to discuss elder economic security and employment.  The goals of the summit are to raise awareness and educate people about the training and employment services available to Vermonters age 55+ and showcase the consequences if these successful programs no longer exist.

Those of us in the trenches of nonprofit work can feel overwhelmed by the double whammy of decreasing funding and increasing demand for services. Sometimes we feel like we are spinning our wheels in isolation. That’s why I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the Vermont Nonprofit Conference 2011 on April 14th!

We’ll be able to get together to learn more about “Measuring, Marketing & Money”. Check out the line up! There will be a fine slate of presenters–including Gretchen Morse (United Way of Chittenden County), Joy Livingston and Donna Reback, Rachel Jolly (Vermont Works for Women) and the folks from Spike Advertising. They will teach us how to tell if we are making a difference so that we can increase our funding and community support.
