WATERVILLE,
MAINE, February 2020 — Thomas College President (and former Maine State
Economist) Laurie G. Lachance will be touring the state in March for informal
conversations with educators on how to grow our state in a series called
“Talent on Tap: Partnering to Catalyze Maine’s Future.”

love is dependent on developing our talent and unleashing the innovative
potential of our people. Education is the key to making this happen,”
said Thomas College President Laurie G. Lachance. “I invite you to join me for
an informal conversation on how we, as educators, work together to bring each
young adult to their greatest potential.”
High school administrators, guidance counselors, teachers and other educators
are invited to drop in for an informal conversation at one or all of our events
throughout the state. Events include Waterville Brewing Company in Waterville
