SUMMARY:MRV Women in Business Meeting – Women’s Wellness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:For our next gathering\, we’re doing something a little different and a little more nourishing. As the days grow shorter and the chill of winter sets in\, it’s easy to slip into hibernation mode\, but maybe there are ways to help  Join us for the Women’s Wellness Workshop\, an inspiring evening featuring several amazing Chamber members working in the wellness space. Each of these women will share their knowledge on ways you can ensure you are doing the best you can for your body. Pre-register Today! \nTo make the evening feel more personal and interactive\, we’re skipping the traditional back-to-back format. Instead\, participants will break into smaller groups with each speaker\, this will allow you to ask questions\, dive deeper into topics\, and truly connect. After 10 minutes\, groups will rotate\, so by the end of the night\, you’ll have spent time with each guru. \nLet this be your reminder that winter doesn’t have to be something we just get through it can be a season of rest\, reflection\, and renewal. \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to email us at mrvwomeninbusiness@madrivervalley.com.

SUMMARY:Stand Up For Safety Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In the Mad River Valley\, we believe that everyone — whether they live here\, work here\, or visit — deserves to feel safe. The MRV CARES Stand Up for Safety workshops are designed to help hospitality workers recognize and respond to situations that may threaten the safety or well-being of themselves\, their co-workers\, or guests. \nThrough these interactive sessions\, participants will gain tools and awareness to: \n\n\nRecognize the signs of potential harm\, harassment\, or exploitation. \n\n\nRespond appropriately and safely when concerns arise. \n\n\nConnect those in need with the right support services. \n\n\nThe training is practical\, approachable\, and rooted in real-world hospitality settings — from restaurants and inns to shops and recreation businesses. While the curriculum is still being finalized\, the goal is clear: to equip front-line staff with the confidence and knowledge to help keep the Mad River Valley a safe and welcoming place for everyone. \nWorkshop Details\nOctober 22nd: GBV Bystander Training \nLearn the basics of gender-based violence bystander training. You will learn the 4D’s in bystander prevention and how you can empower yourself and others to stand up and make a difference in the lives of your co-workers and customers. \nJanuary 7th: Understanding DV\, HT\, and Stalking \nThis month we will dive into various forms of gender-based violence: domestic violence\, human trafficking\, and stalking.

We will also identify local and national resources. \nApril 1st: Sexual Assault Awareness Month \nIn this session learn about the various forms of sexual assault and how we can stand up during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and all year long. We will identify how to recognize the signs that may lead up to sexual assault as well as how to respond if someone discloses to you.

SUMMARY:Clearing The Smoke – Fire & Safety Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Safety is always the top priority for Mad River Valley businesses—and for good reason. Business owners care deeply about the well-being of their guests\, employees\, and neighbors. At the same time\, understanding and navigating fire and life safety rules can be challenging. Codes are complex\, interpretations can vary\, and it’s not always clear what is required\, what is recommended\, and how best to plan for compliance in a way that is both safe and sustainable. \nIn an effort to “clear up the smoke\,” the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Fire & Life Safety Roundtable on: \n📅 Wednesday\, January 7🕞 3:30–5:00 pm📍 Yestermorrow Design/Build School Campus \nThis roundtable is designed to create an open\, respectful\, and informative conversation between business owners and state public safety officials—focused on clarity\, consistency\, and shared goals. \nFeatured Speakers\nThe discussion will feature: \n\n\nLandon A. Wheeler\, Deputy DirectorVermont Department of Public Safety – Division of Fire Safety \n\n\nBen Moffatt\, Regional ManagerWaterbury Regional Office\, Department of Public Safety \n\n\nThe conversation will be moderated by Eric Friedman\, Executive Director of the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce. \nWhat We’ll Be Talking About\nAcross the Mad River Valley\, businesses of all sizes—inns\, restaurants\, lodges\, contractors and property managers—are navigating how best to meet safety standards while remaining financially viable and operationally stable. This roundtable is not about blame or complaints; it’s about understanding\, communication\, and problem-solving. \nTopics we hope to explore together include: \n\n\nUnderstanding the codesHow fire and life safety regulations are structured\, what they’re intended to accomplish\, and how they are applied in real-world settings. \n\n\nClarity around expectationsHow inspections work\, what business owners should expect during and after an inspection\, and how to interpret findings and next steps. \n\n\nConsistency and continuityHow inspections may differ over time or between inspectors\, and how businesses can better plan for long-term compliance. \n\n\nPractical pathways to complianceDiscussing approaches that prioritize safety while recognizing the realities of historic buildings\, small-scale operations\, and seasonal businesses. \n\n\nPreserving what makes Vermont specialExploring how safety upgrades can coexist with the historic\, rustic character that defines many Mad River Valley properties and attracts visitors. \n\n\nCreating a level playing fieldUnderstanding how safety oversight applies across different types of lodging and visitor accommodations. \n\n\nWhy This Matters\nA strong Mad River Valley depends on businesses that are safe\, resilient\, and able to thrive. When rules are clearly understood and applied consistently\, business owners can plan ahead\, make smart investments\, and focus on delivering great experiences to residents and visitors alike. \nThis roundtable is an opportunity to ask questions\, hear directly from state officials\, and build a shared understanding that supports public safety\, business sustainability\, and the long-term health of our local economy. \nWe encourage business owners\, property managers\, and anyone navigating fire and life safety regulations to attend and take part in this important conversation. \nLet’s clear up the smoke—together.
