Join the Addison County Chamber of Commerce for our next Webinar on Implementing Family-Friendly Business Practices.

Raising a family and caring for loved ones while holding a part- or full-time job has always been a challenging balancing act. As with most things, the pandemic has brought that reality into sharp relief. What can businesses do to support their employees with families? Join us for a panel discussion with local business experts to think through the opportunities that exist for implementing new policies and practices.

Emily Blistein, Let's Grow Kids
Emily grew up in Brattleboro, VT and earned her BA in women's studies from Brown University. She returned to Vermont to attend Vermont Law School and has worked as an attorney, advocate, and policy advisor on behalf of low income families and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. In 2010, Emily opened Clementine, a store on Main Street in Middlebury featuring the products of independent makers and artists.

Sarah Kaeck, Bee's Wrap
Sarah Kaeck founded Bee's Wrap in 2012. Searching for an alternative to disposable plastics in her own kitchen, and pulling from her longtime love of textiles and art, she infused organic cotton with beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. The resulting reusable wraps provide a versatile way to store food, as beautiful as it is sustainable. In the eight years since founding Bee's Wrap, Sarah has grown the business to more than 40 employees with global distribution.
