40th Anniversary Celebration

Cheers to 40 Years!

Our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in and contributed to our 40th Anniversary celebration at UNE on November 14th!  In addition to a lovely venue, good food, and music by VIVA & the Reinforcements, we were pleased to share a timeline of our 4 decades, showcase story banners of our graduates, premier our new video Changing Lives: New Ventures Maine at 40, and present the 2019 Merle Nelson Women Making a Difference Award to Barbara Trafton.  The evening ended with a giving challenge for our Funds for the Future campaign introduced by Mary Allen Lindemann of Coffee By Design and several lucky recipients of gift baskets of products and services contributed by NVME entrepreneurs from around the state.  Thank you for celebrating 40 years of empowering Maine people with us!
