Created in 1987 as a nonprofit, public interest organization, the Vermont Business Roundtable membership is comprised of 120 CEOs of Vermont's most active and committed for-profit and not-for-profit employers. Our mission is to make Vermont the best place in America to do business, be educated and life live.
The success of this organization is attributed to the personal involvement of the principal officers of our member businesses. Their essential leadership on key public policy issues has been the foundation of our ability to make a difference.
During the 20 years since its inception, the Vermont Business Roundtable has dedicated itself to thoughtful, deliberative, and well-
documented analyses of significant public policy issues affecting all Vermonters. From our first report in 1988 entitled, “Population and Employment Forecast” to the 2006 report entitled, “Having the Courage to Change”, the
Roundtable has engaged in research and analysis, collaboration, and communication and advocacy to bring a uniquely balanced, non-partisan, and long-range perspective to policymaking in in Vermont.
As well, the Vermont Business Roundtable has played a leadership role in the development and launch of significant projects that have enhanced the economic vitality and social fabric of Vermont. Chief among them have been the Medallion School Awards program, the Born to Read Initiative, the Peer to Peer Collaborative, and the Young Writers Project.
