About Us
Cheryl Mullins has been with Vermont Electric Power Company for four years, and she's just been promoted to vice president and chief human resources officer.
That's a big deal in a state known for its small-town charm, the AP reports.
"In her new role, Cheryl will continue to spearhead initiatives that foster a collaborative, innovative, and highly engaged work environment," says CEO Tom Dunn in a press release.
Mullins has been with VELCO for 40 years, most recently as the company's senior director of human resources.
She holds a master's degree in management and a leadership degree from Western Governors University, according to the press release.
Vermont Business Magazine calls her appointment to the company's board of directors a "watershed moment for Vermont" because it's the first time a woman has been elected to that role.
"Karin is responsible for developing and implementing Clean Yield's Impact Investment strategy, focusing on alternative investments in regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, social justice and racial equity in Vermont and beyond," says Dunn in the press release.
"Her career in sustainable investing dates back to 1997, when she started as a social research intern at Trillium Asset Management while earning her master's degree from Tufts University."
