BRATTLEBORO — Marlboro College Graduate School will offer a free workshop on managing organizational change on Tuesday, Nov. 13, from noon to 1:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Graduate School, 28 Vernon St.
Two organizational leaders, Connie Snow and Ann Fielder, will talk about managing change and transitions in organizations. They will give some practical advice and a retrospective look at what works well in times of change.
Snow orchestrated the consolidation of Windham Housing Trust with the Rockingham Area Community Land Trust. She was a founding member of Windham & Windsor Housing Trust (formerly the Brattleboro Area Community Land Trust), and has been the executive director since its inception in 1987. In that capacity, Snow oversees a staff of 28 employees and an annual budget of $1.6 million. She holds a bachelor's degree from Holy Cross College and a master's degree in organization and management from Antioch University.
Fielder, retired senior advisor for organizational development for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, managed change and transitions over a 35-year career. She is now doing executive coaching and is on many community boards. She is the former chair of the Vermont Women's Fund Council, the vice chair of Brattleboro Area Hospice board, a member of the town Human Services Funding Committee and chair of the United Way Income Team. She has a master's degree in organizational psychology.
