Recommendation from Ben Rose, Executive Director of the Green Mountain Club

“When I was Executive Director of The Green Mountain Club, we were fortunate to have Michelle Barber working as one of our information specialists in the Visitor Center. In my experience, Michelle is friendly, bright, professional, and reliable.

Green Mountain Club’s 100th Birthday!

To celebrate the Green Mountain Club’s 100th birthday, I’ll be posting five days of GMC news this week.
