Thanks to Paul Cillo for the reminder to register early for Public Assets Institute fifth annual conference on 9/30:

Public Assets Institute will hold its fifth annual conference, Recommitting to Vermont, Seizing the Opportunity:
How to Use the Crisis to Make Vermont Work for Everyone with Voices for Vermont’s Children in Montpelier on Sept. 30.

The best research already tells us what works. Public investment in people and infrastructure is the best short- and long-term strategy for Vermont—a way to help pull us out of the current recession and build a state that provides prosperity for all Vermonters. So why hasn’t much of it been translated into policy—and how can we make sure it will be?

At this year’s conference we will review the research about public investments, delve into the key reform efforts already under way, and explore how we can work together to seize this opportunity to bring greater prosperity to all Vermonters now and in the future.

Register early and save. Look to the conference page for further details in the coming weeks.
