SUMMARY:Climate Resilience for Businesses: Data and Support for Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 5th from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm\, in the beautiful Hayes Room at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in downtown Montpelier. Afterwards\, networking at Three Penny Taproom across the street. \nJoin VBSR and Vermont leaders to explore insights\, data\, and systems of support for businesses adapting to climate change. This event is a part of the VBSR People.Planet.Prosperity. Speaker Series\, where we come together to learn from experts and innovators in the Vermont business community. \nOur changing climate is having increasing impacts on Vermont’s businesses and our economy. Warming temperatures\, more precipitation\, and the frequency of extreme weather events are impacting businesses across the state and across industries. Whether you’re a bricks and mortar general store or a virtual marketing team\, on a dirt road or downtown\, climate-related business disruptions are likely impacting your staffing\, customers\, operations\, and supply chains\, making climate adaptation and preparedness essential to business viability. \nWhile our changing climate is affecting all businesses\, small businesses are particularly vulnerable. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)\, 75% of small businesses without a continuity plan will fail within 3 years of a natural disaster. The best strategy for minimizing these disruptions is to “have a plan and be prepared\,” yet most small businesses do not have a plan for adapting their business to our changing climate and preparing for climate-related business disruptions. \nJoin experts from across Vermont who will share data on the effects of climate change in Vermont\, systems of support\, and strategies for climate adaptation that are geared towards small businesses. Our panel will include: \n\nGibbs Eddy\, UVM SI-MBA Graduate\nNicole A. Killoran\, Director at Vermont Small Business Law Center\nRebekah Owens\, Founder & President at Tiny Home Helper\nPeter Plumeau\, Founding Partner at Reframe Lab; Co-Facilitator of ClimateReadyVT\n\nThis is a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues\, make new connections\, gain new ideas and inspiration\, and have some fun! This event is open to everyone interested in working toward a just\, thriving\, and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet. \n  \nThank you to our panel! \n \nGibbs Eddy \nUVM SI-MBA Graduate \n  \n \nNicole A. Killoran \nDirector at Vermont Small Business Law Center \n  \n \n\nRebekah Owens \nFounder & President at Tiny Home Helper \n  \n \nPeter Plumeau \nFounding Partner at Reframe Lab; Co-Facilitator of ClimateReadyVT \n  \nAttendee Experience \nFood & Drinks: There will be food and drinks available for purchase at Three Penny Taproom after the panel. \nThis event is family-friendly and caretakers of any kind are welcome to attend with your dependents! \nAll members of New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility are welcome to attend for free. \nPlease make note of any accommodation requests when you register. \n  \nEvent sponsor: \nDavis & Hodgdon Associates CPAs is a full-service public accounting firm with locations in Williston and Rutland Vermont. \nAre you interested in sponsoring this event? If so\, please contact to Molly Rand at mollyr@vbsr.org for details.
