Audubon Vermont has welcomed Rebecca Sameroff to their board of directors. Audubon Vermont is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect birds, wildlife and their habitat through engaging people of all ages in education, conservation, stewardship and action.
Audubon has had an active conservation and education presence in Vermont for fifty years and having Rebecca, an eager conservationist from Montpelier, on the board helps grow our ties throughout the state and add to our already talented and committed board,” stated Jim Shallow, Managing Director, at Audubon Vermont.
"Now that I’m settled in Vermont, I’m eager for opportunities to engage and connect in my new community. Involvement in Audubon Vermont’s board truly feels like an ideal application of my interests, skills, and energy," stated Rebecca Sameroff.
Rebecca moved to Vermont last summer in pursuit of a more perfect work/life balance that’s simply not available in other states. Currently, she splits her time working as a fiscal analyst for the State of Vermont and pursuing her love for the outdoors. Rebecca graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology and from The Maxwell School at Syracuse University with a Master of Public Administration.
Before receiving a Master of Public Administration and transitioning to more desk-oriented professional endeavors, Rebecca spent a few years “playing outside” in the Rockies and the Pacific Northwest. Birds first became central to the way she enjoyed the outdoors when she moved to Colorado. There, her general enthusiasm for spotting large raptors quickly evolved into an ardent curiosity to learn the identities and behaviors of many birds around her. This interest served her well when she moved to Alaska to work as a sea kayak guide in Kenai Fjords National Park.
Audubon Vermont is the state program of the National Audubon Society representing 4,000 members in the state.
Audubon Vermont engages people of all ages in education, conservation, stewardship, and action to protect birds, other wildlife, and their habitats. Collaborating with seven Audubon chapters, and hundreds of volunteers, Audubon Vermont delivers conservation programs across the state. For 50 years, the 255-acre Green Mountain Audubon Center has hosted wildlife and nature programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.
