Introducing Jay Haines, Five Rivers Executive Director
November 14, 2017 – It is my pleasure to have this opportunity to introduce myself. I am Jay Haines, the recently appointed Executive Director for Five Rivers Conservation Trust (Five Rivers), and I am delighted to have been chosen for this meaningful position.
I have been a New Hampshire resident for 30 years, having relocated from Philadelphia in 1980 to take a position in commercial banking. In 1990, I left banking to start my consulting firm, Janvier Associates, which, for 20 years provided financial and organizational guidance to owner managed businesses and nonprofit organizations. I have been a permanent and interim nonprofit executive director with social service, arts, and community service organizations as well as serving on numerous nonprofit boards. With the latter my areas of activity have been centered in finance and fundraising.
The opportunity to become the ED of Five Rivers allows me to put two decades of advisory and nonprofit board experience to work in the field, or woods, of conservation. I have personally benefitted from and respected those working in conservation since moving to New Hampshire. I am an avid hiker, mountain biker, and general outdoor enthusiast. Living in the Sunapee lakes region (North Sutton and New London) for the past 15 years, I have regularly availed myself of the many activities and opportunities found on conservation protected/public welcome properties.
I welcome the opportunity to bring all this together working as Five Rivers’ ED, and for you, its member.
Your board and I want to continue to share news about conserved properties and Five Rivers sponsored activities. The most efficient and timely fashion to do this is through e-mail contact. Therefore, I would be most appreciative if you would take a moment to send me an e-mail at,director@5rct.org; which would allow us to add your e-address to our files.
Look for exciting announcement regarding the Bohanan Farm property, our summer walk adventures, and other upcoming activities.
I look forward to meeting you.
Jay Haines, Executive Director
