Ignite Burlington 2016 | Speaker Videos

Thank you again to everyone who attended Ignite Burlington 2016! What a treat to share the evening with such an inspiring group of speakers and community members.

Adam Hergenrother started Hergenrother Foundation in 2013 to give back to the communities in which he and his team members live, work and play.

Hergenrother Foundation’s mission is to transform lives through strategic giving, so that everyone can live the biggest life possible. Hergenrother Foundation supports housing and youth leadership and mentorship non-profit organizations around the country. By supporting Hergenrother Foundation, you are investing in the future of your community. Hergenrother Foundation is also dedicated to bringing educational and inspirational events to the Greater Burlington area, to heighten awareness for the power that every person, regardless of age, can live a life without limits.

We also want to give a special thanks to our sponsors – Kim Negron of Homebridge Financial Services and Paula Diaco of Write Stories Now. A musical performance from a local trio was also a highlight of the night. A2VT is a group of young men who landed in Vermont after war broke out in their birth countries. They sing, dance, rap and are a whole lot of fun.

The evening kicked off with a great social hour, killer small bites and closed with dessert and coffee catered by Bevo.

Ignite Burlington 2016 was packed with amazing speakers and supported by an incredible audience. We had a videographer on site to capture each talk. These amazing speaker videos are available now: IGNITE BURLINGTON 2016 VIDEOS
