Leadership

VCC BOARD

This 12-person team primarily includes individuals that own and/or are marketing/sales staff from cheesemaking businesses and/or have specialty food/cheese retail or distribution experience. It oversees VCC and ensures that our programs and initiatives align with cheesemaking business’ and industry needs and wants.

COMMITTEES

Program direction is very much a team effort! We use committees (finance, marketing, education, governance, regulatory) to help guide program and certain operational choices.  These committees are made up of staff and member/community volunteers.  If you are interested in joining or learning more about one of our team’s committees – please reach out to info@vtcheese.com for more information.

Our strategic work is currently focused on expanding VCC programs to increase the work we do to help our members succeed.  While some of this includes providing educational resources or acting a marketing pseudo-partner to help cheesemaking businesses and promote the Vermont Cheese Brand, other work focuses on includes helping businesses navigate regulatory or operational challenges, and at our core – we also want to help our community connect with one other for support and mutual benefit.  You can read our full 2021-2025 Strategic Plan and more about our growth goals here.
