Board of Directors

VSAC was created as an “instrumentality” of the state of Vermont and is governed by an 11-member board of directors.

The board is made up of two state legislators, one each from the House and Senate; the state treasurer; five individuals appointed by the governor; and three individuals appointed by the board. Current board members are:

  • Dorothy R. Mitchell, chair (bio)
  • Rep. Martha P. Heath, vice chair (bio)
  • David Larsen, secretary (bio)
  • Pamela A. Chisholm (bio)
  • David Coates (bio)
  • Virginia Cole-Levesque (bio)
  • Sen. Ann E. Cummings (bio)
  • Katharine B. Hutchinson
  • G. Dennis O’Brien (bio)
  • State Treasurer Elizabeth ”Beth” Pearce
  • Michael K. Smith

The board has five standing committees: Audit, Corporate Governance, Finance, Human Resources, and Programs & Services. Although not a member of the board, a representative of the state auditor of accounts participates in Audit Committee meetings. In October of 2011, the board also created an ad-hoc Succession Planning Committee. Unless otherwise noted, committee and full board meetings are held at the VSAC offices, 10 East Allen St., Winooski, Vermont.
