Vermont's young professionals might just have the answers on how to keep young professionals in Vermont.

It's an age-old question: How does Vermont keep young professionals here and attract more to the state?

How about just asking them? That's what we plan to do.

We speak with Heather Robertson, board member of the Rutland Young Professionals, and Alex Beck, coordinator of the Southern Vermont Young Professionals, as they prepare to attend this weekend's Young Professionals Summit of Vermont.

Also on the program, Peter Diamondstone, the Liberty Union candidate for U.S. Senate, discusses his platform.

Broadcast live on Thursday, October 13, 2016 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
