Our day will kick off with a keynote address by Tom Bodett, founder of HatchSpace, a nonprofit in Brattleboro, and a frequent guest on NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!

He is co-founder of HatchSpace in Brattleboro, a nonprofit that is a leader in the movement for rural renewal through woodworking.

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.
