Emerge Vermont celebrates our 10th Anniversary with an evening of gratitude & celebration (and dancing!) at the Barns at Lang Farm in Essex Junction on September 23rd, 2023 at 6:30pm.

Back in 2013, former Governor Madeleine Kunin wanted to make her vision of more Democratic women serving in elected office a reality. She created Emerge Vermont: an organization dedicated to providing women with the tools, skills, and network necessary to run successful campaigns—and win.

Ten years later, women are serving as Vermont’s Secretary of State and Attorney General, 45% of Vermont legislators are women, and Vermonters have elected the first woman in our history to represent us in Congress.

Ten years later, 186 women (and counting) have participated in Emerge Vermont’s Signature Training Program, and dozens more have trained with us in other programs. Today, our alums and trainees hold 123 elected and appointed public offices. Today, 45% of our alums and trainees are in office, 54% have been in office, and 67% have run for office.

Ten years later, Emerge Vermont has made a difference. Women’s representation in government has increased significantly since Governor Kunin brought her vision to life in 2013.

And we’re not done. BUT, before we continue on our incredible path, it’s time to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished.
