Lori to Swim Off to Retirement!

Dear Lake Champlain Committee Members, Volunteers, and Partners,

I am writing to share some bittersweet news about the Lake Champlain Committee. After an extraordinary career spanning nearly four decades, our beloved Executive Director, Lori Fisher, has announced her retirement, effective at the end of 2024.

Lori’s unwavering dedication and passion for protecting and preserving Lake Champlain have made her an iconic figure in our community and beyond. Her leadership has been instrumental in countless achievements for the LCC, and her impact on the health and well-being of our lake is immeasurable. We are deeply grateful for her tireless efforts and invaluable contributions to our organization.

As Lori looks forward to spending well-deserved time with her young grandchildren and traveling with her husband, we understand and respect her decision. The Board of Directors is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the LCC’s momentum during this time of change. We have initiated a comprehensive search for a new Executive Director to carry on Lori’s legacy and lead the organization into the future.

We will keep you informed of the search process and look forward to introducing you to our new Executive Director in due course. Until then, we ask for your continued support and engagement as we navigate this transition. Please join me in expressing our sincere gratitude to Lori for her exceptional service to the Lake Champlain Committee. We wish her all the best in her retirement.

Sincerely,

Gary Kjelleren

Lake Champlain Committee Chair
