Joining us in the fall of 2024, Kathi's role is to manage our financial and HR operations and to provide other operational and administrative support. Born and raised in the Orleans County with strong family ties to the area, Kathi has a great appreciation of, and a vested interest in, the natural resources of our surrounding areas. She has over 20 years of experience working for the Internal Revenue Service, primarily related to federal employment tax matters, has worked in the private sector, and in public education for seven years.  Kathi holds Associate Degrees in Accounting and Small Business Management and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. She lives in Troy with her family on 70 acres of land that was once farmed by her husband’s family, and which has a beautiful view of Jay Peak and the surrounding Green Mountains.  She enjoys being outside, working on their land, walking with their dogs in the woods, gardening, and cooking.  Kathi is excited to use her diverse background and work experience to help serve and support the District in this newly created position.
