Vermont Business Magazine Central Vermont Council on Aging (CVCOA) has appointed John Mandeville of East Hardwick, Vermont as its new executive director. An experienced senior-level leader, John has served for the last eleven years as Executive Director of the Lamoille Economic Development Corp, Morrisville, one of 12 Regional Development Corporations in the state.
Mandeville will succeed outgoing Executive Director Beth Stern who resigned from CVCOA in October 2020, as well as Jeanne Kern and Davoren Carr who have served as Interim Co-Executive Directors since November of 2020.
Mandeville will assume his responsibilities on July 6, 2021.
Mandeville has decades of senior management experience including 12 years running his own businesses and seven years as the Managing Director of the European subsidiary of an American company.
He and his family moved to Vermont in 2000 upon their return to the U.S. from England. “I believe in Central Vermont Council on Aging’s mission-supporting Central Vermonters to age with dignity and choice-and in the value of the services CVCOA provides to older Vermonters,” said Mandeville. “I am eager to lead CVCOA to grow and meet important strategic and financial goals.”
