We love the Vermont Tech Jam because the connections we make there can truly stand the test of time. Several years ago, a casual conversation at our booth introduced us to Allison Lawrence. That initial chat about technology turned into a long-term career. Today, Allison is a vital member of the IT team at OnLogic, helping keep our systems and global operations running smoothly. Events like the Tech Jam make it possible to discover incredible local talent right here in Vermont.

We met Marisa Butzirus at the Vermont Tech Jam and were immediately impressed! Not only by her resume and qualifications, but also by her drive and determination to learn new things. Although we did not have an opportunity available at the time, she was eager to learn more about Hazelett’s technology and toured our facility to better understand what we do.
When an opening became available, we reconnected with Marisa, and the strong first impression she made remained. She joined Hazelett as our Executive Assistant and has been a wonderful addition to the team. Her creativity, initiative, and willingness to take on new challenges have already helped improve the way we do things. We are grateful we made that initial connection at the Vermont Tech Jam!
