During the past week, the Lake George Association (LGA) and The FUND for Lake George announced that their boards have agreed to a merger. The LGA will now bring the proposal to its members. The new entity will retain the LGA name, upholding and carrying forward the tradition of accomplishment as the oldest (1885) lake protection organization in the country.
The proposed new organization will be led by a board of directors selected from the current board members of the LGA and The FUND. Jeff Killeen, currently Chairman of The FUND, will Chair the new organization. Peter Menzies, current President of the LGA board, will serve as Vice Chair. Eric Siy, currently Executive Director of The FUND, will become President of the LGA. Walt Lender, currently Executive Director of the Lake George Association, will serve as Senior Vice President.
Members of the Lake George Association will receive additional details about the proposed merger via email and/or U.S. mail, along with a ballot for voting on the measure.
