Resilient Vermont Network
In 2018, members and advisors of the Resilient Vermont Network launched a process to reimagine and reshape the Resilient Vermont Network. The Network first formed experimentally in 2015 under the direction of the Institute for Sustainable Communities. Now under the leadership of the Center for Global Resilience and Security at Norwich University, the Network continues to strengthen efforts coordinating and supporting resilience work in Vermont.
