As part of the Quadricentenniel Celebrations, Fran Stoddard organized and conducted a series of Forums on the Future with leaders from a wide spectrum of sectors. She will discuss how artists, state officials and industry leaders diverge or converge around this inquiry, how we move from visions of the future to policy and action, why visioning the future so tricky and why is it essential and why, although the mining of history is indispensable in this process, sometimes we should let it go. Stoddard then hopes to engage us in the ongoing dialogue on these issues.
Fran Stoddard has spent her career as a journalist, educator and communicator. Among other endeavors, she currently hosts Vermont Public Television's Profile program. She loves tapping the minds of Vermont's best and brightest and sharing their wisdom with fellow Vermonters.
