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.”

“Maine’s Governor has given us a call to action. The future of the state we 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 on March 11; The Pub at Baxter in Lewiston on March 12; Mason’s Brewery in Brewer on March 16; Rising Tide Brewery in Portland on March 18; and York Beach Beer Company in York on March 19. All events take place from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
