President

Julie Eckert

Initially raised in a small New England town, with a fierce sense of the importance for supporting "local". I am a Mover (not a Shaker) having lived in 17 different states and visited every single one. I have witnessed good planning and not so good ideas.  After years of volunteer work and part time jobs while raising a family, with a whole lot of event planning, I returned to school for a Master's in Public Administration.  Economic Development to me means building a healthy and inclusive community for residents and businesses now and for the future. It is not a "my job" but " our job" to build a sustainable community.​

Treasurer, 2019 - Present

Maynard Southard

Always a hands-on guy, Maynard and a buddy bought a small run-down 100 year-old metal stamping company in western Massachusetts in 1997. A summer cabin on Crystal Lake was a getaway for his family during many of those hard working years. Maynard and Betsy made the full-time move to Enfield in 2014, after Betsy retired and the kids finished college. After 23 years of managing all aspects of a small manufacturing business, he and his partner sold the company in 2019. Maynard coached youth basketball for 10 years and is a regular at the scorer’s table for Mascoma & Hanover High and Dartmouth College basketball games. He’s been active in town, serving on the Enfield Municipal Facilities Advisory Committee and the Enfield Master Planning Task Force, in addition to serving as Treasurer of the Enfield Village Association since 2019.
