Meet the Board (Renny Perry)

Meet the Board

Every month "Around the Chamber" will introduce our readers to a member of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors

In this issue, we introduce you to ACCOC Board Member Renny Perry

How long have you lived and/or worked in Addison County?

I have lived in Addison County for about 22 years. I have worked in Addison County around 7 years, the rest of the time I have worked elsewhere in Vermont.

I telecommuted to New Hampshire for a few years. Then I was City Manager of Vergennes. Finally, until my retirement I worked for the State of Vermont Judiciary as Director of Trial Court Operations responsible for all the Vermont courts. I have also served on the Vergennes City Council and as its mayor. I also served for many years as President of the Vergennes Partnership and currently on the board. I have owned several businesses including a downtown retail business, but not in Addison County.

5 years. For businesses to get back on their feet, particularly the restaurant and hospitality businesses. There also needs to be more housing which is affordable so that more families will move into the county and hopefully relieve the staffing shortage.

I think continual and consistent contact with businesses and offering whatever support that may be helpful. Just the moral support will do wonders.
