Vermont Commission on Women issued the following announcement.
We welcome new commissioner Alex Hilliard of Poultney! Appointed by the Senate Committee on Committees, Alex is a personal trainer, entrepreneur, and parent of three.
Alex has big goals for their town, county, and state regarding diversity, athletics and outdoor recreation, and economic opportunities. Some steps they have taken to reach these goals include obtaining an MBA from Green Mountain College, being active in several civic organizations and steering committees furthering the local community, and nourishing a year-old personal training studio in town, VT AthletaFit!
They have also shown their passion for improving the lives of women business owners by creating "Lakes Region Women in Business Mixers" to help connect self-identified women and non-binary individuals for a light-hearted and social networking experience.
They are committed to reducing social inequality within the state, and are excited to bring lived experience as an LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individual. Joining the Commission on Women is another step towards accomplishing those goals.
A warm welcome to Alex!
