Volunteer Positions

Having a career in the real estate business has really helped me understand what volunteerism is all about. Since I first started in real estate over 16 years ago I have learned the importance of volunteerism. I enjoy being able to give of my time to many organizations and to my community. I have served as a Planning Commission Member, Development Review Board Member and on the Randolph Selectboard. For the past several years I have served as a Trustee of Clara Martin Center.

I have also given numerous hours to the REALTOR organization over the years. Early on I served as the president of the White River Valley Multiple Listing Service, and various state committees. I am the immediate past president of the Central Vermont Board of Realtors. Currently I am a member of the Vermont Association of Realtors Board of Directors and I am president-elect for the Northern New England Real Estate Network (NNEREN).


NNEREN is a multiple listing service covering all of New Hampshire and portions of Vermont. Currently there are over 7,000 member participants in NNEREN. I have served on this board for over 3 years and look forward to many more. Our monthly board meetings are split between Concord, NH and White River Junction, VT, so many months I drive to Concord.

In addition to NNEREN being a data-sharing system for Realtors, they also have a public website so that consumers can view listings within the system (http://www.nneren.com/).


All of the positions for which I volunteer have helped me in both my personal and professional lives. Not only do I feel I am up to date on many issues, but the networking opportunities have been fabulous. So if you ever need a referral for a real estate professional outside of the Central Vermont area just give me a call.
