Interests
Vermont Ballet Theater (VBT): As of January
2006, I am Managing Director of VBT (part-time), primarily to manage
the establishment of a new center for dance located adjacent to
the Elley-Long Center, home of the Vermont Youth Orchestra. Building
on the vision of St. Michael’s College, which is providing
the site, VBT will be a central component of a youth arts campus.

Jericho Underhill Land Trust (JULT): In
1999, I headed up the fundraising for the establishment of the
Mills Riverside Park in Jericho and Underhill VT, providing 216
acres of meadow and forest land adjacent to our town center. Today,
the park is home to farmers’ markets, concerts and athletic
events, all graced by magnificent views of Mount Mansfield. Since
that first project, I have served as Vice Chair of the Land Trust,
as we have accomplished two additional projects, the preservation
of Wolfrun, for wildlife habitat and education, and Casey’s
Hill, Underhill’s magnificent sledding hill. This has been
extremely rewarding work, knowing that we are preserving special
land for future generations, with the generous support and volunteer
effort of hundreds of people in our community. Please see www.JULT.org.
