New members joining the board of directors include Caroline Mashia, of Hinesburg, chief financial officer at Vermont Electric Coop; Megan Miley, of Moretown, strategic sales executive at Casella Waste Systems; and Brian Van Horn, of Manchester, director of parks and recreation for the town of Manchester.
New employees joining the organization are Sarah Richardson, who serves as 5K and events coordinator, and Tori Hubbard Ward, who was named program and operations coordinator.
