On Saturday May 2nd, VCLF Director of Development Jake Ide and VCLF Board Treasurer Karin Chamberlain participated in "Your Investments Matter: A Seminar on Personal Divestment" in Burlington, VT.

Presented by divestor.org and 350 Vermont and sponsored by Skinny Pancake and Main Street Landing, attendees were treated to a lively and informative discussion about the challenges and opportunities around doing more (and doing RIGHT!) with our money. Other speakers included Harris Roen of the Roen Report and Tom Francis from Fossil Free Indexes; the discussion was moderated by Dan Quinlan from divestor.org.
