The Institute provides participants with the information, tools, and inspiration that enable them to make even greater contributions to their organizations, communities, and to Vermont itself.

The VLI is an intensive program which consists of eight overnight sessions and nineteen seminar days between the months of September and June. The sessions are each held in a different region of the state, conveying a sense of the rich historic, geographic, and cultural diversity of Vermont.

The VLI graduation occurred on June 4th of this year. Please join us in congratulating Justin and all of the 2022 Vermont Leadership Institute graduates.
