The Mad River Path Association (the Path) is pleased to welcome new leadership in its active Board of Directors and at the staff level. The new full-time executive director is Ross Saxton of Waitsfield, and Kyle Neyer of Warren is the Path’s newest Board member.
Saxton has a long history of program and business development at local and national non-profits and in the outdoors industry. “I’m fortunate to have such a strong Board of Directors and supportive community behind our effort to connect Warren, Fayston, Waitsfield, and Moretown with one continuous pathway,” said Saxton. “While we continue this goal, I’m particularly eager to expand our work that creates and maintains path and trail networks throughout the Valley for everyone of all ages and physical abilities to connect to the outdoors and local businesses.”
Neyer is a local realtor in the Mad River Valley who was eager to join the Board as soon as he could. “My partner and I walk the Path with our dogs 365 days a year and it brings us joy every single time. It is very important to us to help continue the work of the Mad River Path to connect our communities through walking, biking, running or skiing - enjoying the great outdoor activities that we have here in the Mad River Valley.”
The Mad River Path Association is a community-supported, 501(C)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to build, maintain, and conserve a system of continuous public pathways from Warren to Moretown to foster a healthy community by connecting the people, businesses and special places of the Mad River Valley. The Path consists of 12 volunteer Board members, an executive director, and a trail manager. The Path depends on dozens of volunteers and hundreds of individual and business supporters each year. The Mad Dash running race is the Path’s major fundraising event, which is held in October annually.
