Vermont Federal Credit Union staff member, James McGlynn, joined the camp to mentor these students through their entrepreneurial journey. James McGlynn, Middlebury Branch Loan Officer stated, “It was great to see future entrepreneurs work together, share ideas and take advice.” He continued, “It was a great experience on both sides.” In addition to providing staff support, Vermont Federal was happy to make a donation in the amount of $750 to help assist the camps efforts.
