Monday, April 7, 2025- Danville Noon Rotary welcomed Vermilion Advantage CEO Mike Marron. Mike spoke about the importance of letting go of the past, embracing the present and planning for the future. Vermilion Advantage is ramping up their social media efforts, including a new podcast, to expand their reach into the community. He spoke about initiatives to address blight reduction and the need for additional housing options. He also feels that investing in additional forms of marketing for Danville is necessary to really sell all that our community has to offer. They have formed an advocacy committee to address local challenges, to take a stand on issues and make Danville an environment that is friendlier to small business. They are working closely with schools and industry partners to educate students on local career paths and incorporate the necessary training into the curriculum at earlier ages to prepare students for opportunities that await them upon graduation. To oversee this initiative, they are presently recruiting to hire a Workforce Education Director! Follow Vermilion Advantage – https://www.facebook.com/VermilionAdvantage
