Emerge Vermont’s 2025 Graduation Celebration

The Emerge Vermont family is gathering to celebrate the Class of 2025!

We’re excited to celebrate our class and reconnect with our wonderful alums!

The Class of 2025 has shown an incredible amount of grit, heart, resilience, and passion as they successfully completed their 70+ hour Emerge Vermont candidate training. In every way, they demonstrated who they are as leaders. As our nation grapples with constant crises, the fight for women’s freedom, the fight against racial injustice, and international discord, we need them in elected office now more than ever.

We’re so excited to honor this class’ hard work and commitment to service. And we welcome all our past alums to join us for the party! Please join us as we introduce them to the Emerge Vermont community and welcome them to the Emerge Vermont family!

We’re thrilled to have an amazing lineup of strong women leaders: Montpelier City Councilor Pelin Kohn (Class of ’23), Majority Leader Lori Houghton, Speaker Jill Krowinski, and—just added—new Vermont Democratic Party executive director May Hanlon!

Thursday, May 8th, 6-8 PM
