The Brain Trust for the new Vermont State University Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship was hard at work today at our kick-off meeting. Thanks to those here and the folks who joined remotely for letting us tap into your knowledge, insights, and expertise. Your candor helped educate us on key issues that will move us forward.
And you were a whole lot of fun.
