Gus Seelig Keynote:
Building Community Through Conservation: Lessons from 30 Years

Gus Seelig has served as the Executive Director of the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board since its inception in 1987. Under his leadership, VHCB has invested $310 million in state funding to develop or rehabilitate more than 12,500 affordable homes, to conserve 700 farms encompassing 160,000 acres and 265,000 acres of natural areas and recreational and forest lands and supported restoration of over 60 historic buildings for community use. VHCB's partners have leveraged this investment, raising $1.3 billion for these projects. A central part of the Boards mission has been to support the building of capacity by non profits to both develop projects and steward resources.
