Welcome to Our New Board Members

We’re thrilled to welcome five incredible individuals to the Advance Transit Board of Directors! As a nonprofit public transportation provider serving the Upper Valley, our mission is driven by collaboration, community, and a deep commitment to access and equity. It’s with great excitement and gratitude that we introduce the newest members of our board—each bringing a unique perspective, wealth of experience, and shared passion for service.

Please join us in welcoming:

  Mark is a strong advocate for older adults and a vital voice for ensuring that our services remain age-friendly, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of older community members across the Upper Valley.
• Lori Fortini, MEd, Program Leader at the Aging Resource Center Team (Dartmouth Health)
  Lori’s work supporting older adults and caregivers offers thoughtful insight into the intersection of health, independence, and transportation—an area we’re proud to prioritize in our planning and services.
• Sara Glennon, Food Programs Coordinator at the Upper Valley Haven
  Sara’s work addressing food insecurity in the Upper Valley gives her a unique lens on community need, and we’re grateful for her compassion and dedication to improving access for our most vulnerable neighbors.
