Common Good Vermont: Vermont Nonprofit Summit - Beyond the Ladder: Rethinking Career Growth

Description

From Common Good Vermont:

We hear from a panel of nonprofit leaders, inviting us to rethink career growth beyond titles and upward motion.

Not everyone wants to climb to the top of the org chart—and that’s not a limitation, it’s a choice worth honoring. This session invites us to rethink career growth beyond titles and upward motion, focusing instead on the people at the center of organizational life. From deep experts to bridge-builders, we’ll explore how to support fulfilling, impactful careers for those who grow in place, expand sideways, or lead quietly from within. The panel will be moderated by Sharon Lifschutz, Director of Development & Communications at Lund and feature active nonprofit practitioners.

Panelists:

• Moderator: Sharon Lifschutz, Director of Development & Communications, Lund
• Dillon Boisvert, Manager of Human Resources, United Way of Northwest Vermont
• Tara Chase, Director of Operations, Springfield Supported Housing Program
• Jessie Warren, Residential Program Director, Elevate Youth Services
• Vermont Lt. Governor John Rogers

After a sold-out debut in 2024, this year’s Summit promises to be even more impactful—expanding in scope, deepening in purpose, and rising to meet the moment.

With the powerful theme “Meeting the Moment: Together We Rise,” the 2025 Summit will bring together hundreds of nonprofit professionals, community leaders, advocates, and allies from across Vermont for a full day of inspiration, collaboration, and forward-thinking strategy. Whether you’re a seasoned executive, a new staff member, a board leader, or a passionate volunteer, this is your opportunity to connect with peers, gain fresh insights, and help shape the future of Vermont’s nonprofit sector.

This year’s summit is more than just a conference—it’s a gathering of purpose-driven people committed to equity, resilience, and collective action in the face of complex challenges.
