On June 13, we graduated 21 participants from the Leadership Institute Class of 2012. This is the sixth class to graduate the Leadership Institute. The graduation ceremony took place at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor VT.

Dorisann Ross, Class of 2012, reflecting on her year with Leadership Institute writes, "Over the last ten months I have learned so many interesting facts of how our community is alive. I have lived my whole life in the Upper Valley and did not really appreciate all we have right in our backyard until I went through this program."
