"Got a chance to talk with two new small companies in the region that I was not familiar with, that's what it is all about, very nice. Great job from the whole Vermont Chamber staff again." - Brad Page, Veterans' Services, Vermont Department of Labor
"I really enjoyed participating in the VAAA event. What a refreshing feeling to be around positive people, who are really excited about what they do and are looking ahead to improving and growing their businesses as well as our state. I also got the feeling that there is an attitude of if one succeeds, we all succeed, so let's all do what we can to help each other. My colleague and I are already planning to attend the next event and we will participate in the "Commercial" portion this time. I look forward to being there." - Steve England, Super Thin Saws
