Two Shelburne women have graduated from the Early Childhood Leadership Institute at The Snelling Center for Government.

Justin Lee and Susan Torncello joined the Class of 2024, which celebrated with family members, colleagues and friends April 13 at Burke Mountain Resort.

Torncello previously served as the coordinator of the Early Childhood Education Program at the University of Vermont, while Lee is currently the early childhood coordinator for the Milton Town School District.

As a participant in the Institute, they joined 21 others from around the state for a series of six overnight sessions designed to foster meaningful relationships and explore some of the most important issues facing early childhood care and education in Vermont.

With session themes including personal leadership adaptation, complex systems thinking, public policy and advocacy and use of data, the program challenges and supports participants to develop self-awareness and acquire knowledge and skills that result in strong, effective leadership and thoughtful action.

Lee and Torncello join a professional network of over 1,000 Vermont Leadership Network Alumni.
