Nancy joined the Board as an Associate Supervisor in 2021.  She retired at the end of 2020, after 19 years on the conservation staff of the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board, serving as both Conservation Director and Agricultural Director.  At VHCB she worked closely with federal, state, local and non-profit partners, with a particular focus on farmland protection.  Prior to joining VHCB, she owned and operated a small, diversified organic dairy.  She continued to raise and sell grass-fed organic beef on her small Marshfield farm until she retired.

Nancy lives with her husband Dave Pelletier in Marshfield.  She loves doing almost anything outside – gardening, hiking, swimming, kayaking, biking, and cross-country skiing.  Since retiring, she and her husband have enjoyed taking their camper on long trips, exploring state and national parks along the way. She holds a B.A. from Harvard University, and is a 2011 graduate of the Snelling Vermont Leadership Institute.
