Meet Five Rivers’ New 2020 Board Members
June 15, 2020 – Each year brings changes, and it is no different with the Board of Five Rivers. This year we welcome three new Board members – meet each of them below.
Cathy Menard – Treasurer (Concord)
Cathy Menard is a retired CPA whose career was in nonprofit financial management. She served as CFO of NH Community Development Finance Authority and as Controller of Riverbend Community Mental Health. As a volunteer, she is President of the Concord Food Co-op.
Cathy welcomes the opportunity to support land conservation by joining the Fiver Rivers board and applauds the organization’s raised profile and visible success in recent years.
Cathy’s family owns conserved land and she and her spouse enjoy hiking area trails.
Tracey Boisvert (Concord)
Tracey has spent her entire career working in the field of natural resource protection. First in a regulatory capacity with the Department of Environmental Services and then working in land protection and stewardship with the NH Conservation Land Stewardship Program. She is currently the Land Management Bureau Administrator at the Dept. of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Tracey and her family have enjoyed exploring the trails and natural environments in and around the greater Concord area for many years and she’s very excited to take a more active role in Five Rivers’ land protection efforts.
She lives in Concord where she and her husband raised their two, now adult, daughters. She has been a member of the Concord Conservation Commission for the past 17 years and enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and tending Christmas trees at her family’s woodlot in northern Vermont.
Beth Moore (Hopkinton)
Beth Moore is a retired school social worker. After completing her graduate work in New York City, Beth, her husband and three children, moved to New Hampshire after living in Grenada, West Indies, Michigan and Rhode Island consecutively. They raised their three children in Hopkinton since 1993 because of the easy access to the mountains, lakes and ocean, and the quality of life New Hampshire provides.
Since retirement one of her areas of interest has been land and water preservation. Beth is fortunate to live in a home in Hopkinton which is on the Contoocook River and surrounded by land that was placed in conservation with the help of Five Rivers.
Beth has previously served on the boards of Womankind and The Friends Program and is excited to join the Five Rivers Board. She is currently sailing a forty foot sailboat from Florida to Maine with her husband, twin sister and brother-in-law. With internet access permitting, she will attend meetings remotely until she returns to New Hampshire this fall.
