We are extremely proud of and grateful to our speaker panelists from our 11th Annual Force for the Future Virtual Luncheon! The panelists included former VT Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe, Dothan Brook School Principal Rick Dustin-Eichler, and two staff members from The Family Place, clinical director Tonya McMurray and physical therapist Amber Hewston. The conversation was rich and inspiring!

About the Force for the Future Luncheon: The Family Place presented our 11th annual Force for the Future Luncheon virtually as a Zoom Webinar on April 20, 2022. Titled “Route to Resilience: Paving the Post-Pandemic Path,” the lunchtime speaker panel discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our children’s mental health and early development and illuminated the vulnerability of our childcare and education systems. Four expert panelists shared learnings from this unprecedented time and discussed opportunities to work together to repair, restore and re-envision the road forward for our community’s youngest members.
Thank you to our generous sponsors!
