Montpelier, VT (January 6, 2023) – The Vermont Futures Project welcomed two new Directors to the Board: Mike Solimano of Killington Resort & Pico Mountain, and Bill Cahill of Vermont Mutual Insurance Group.

The Vermont Futures Project Board of Directors is dedicated to positioning the economy in the center of a statewide discussion about Vermont’s future, enriching that discussion with data, benchmarks, and research – demonstrating how a healthy economy provides opportunities for people and contributes to Vermont’s unique quality of life.

“I am so excited to join the VT Futures Project to help with their mission to provide data to support the evolution of Vermont’s economy. Killington Resort is located in Rutland County, where the population continues to decline, and I want to work with the VT Futures Project to help our county as well as the entire state to have a thriving economy. I believe the outdoor recreation industry can have a major impact in helping to attract people to Vermont and I look forward to helping achieve this in the coming years,” stated Mike Solimano, President & General Manager of Killington Resort & Pico Mountain.

“As an active member of the Montpelier and Vermont business community since 1828, Vermont Mutual recognizes the importance and enthusiastically supports the mission of the Vermont Futures Project. I am honored to join the Vermont Futures Board on behalf of Vermont Mutual and to support the shared vision that a healthy and vibrant economy provides opportunities for individuals and families and contributes to Vermont’s unique quality of life,” stated Bill Cahill, Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary at Vermont Mutual Insurance Group.

Vermont Futures Project Executive Director Kevin Chu said, “Mike and Bill add critical industry and geographical perspectives to our team. The collective expertise of our Board of Directors represents our commitment to developing a holistic vision for Vermont’s economic future.”
