Jeremy Baker, fleet and safety manager at rk MILES, has been appointed to a two-year term as president of the board of directors at the Vermont Retail Lumber Dealers Association.
Baker said his goal will be to continue the board’s focus on workforce development in the building trades and to support VRLDA’s efforts to be a conduit between state legislators and technical career centers throughout the state.
“It’s an honor to preside over this board,” Baker said. “Collectively, we have the best interests of our membership and Vermont in mind. I will acknowledge the good work we have done and build on that in the next two years.”
Baker has worked at rk MILES for more than seven years, where he has been instrumental in creating and instituting employee safety and equipment operation protocols for the company’s 10 locations. In addition to his new role as the VRLDA, Baker serves on the boards of the National Lumber and Building Materials Foundation and the Northeastern Retail Lumber Dealers Association.
