My Nonprofit Reviews
Mike Brigham
Review for Lake Champlain International (LCI), Colchester, VT, USA
I started volunteering with Lake Champlain International about 10 years ago, helping out with weigh station operations during the annual Father's Day Derby which is the organization's primary revenue generating mechanism.
I was very impressed with James, Keith, Danielle, Frank, Gray, and the small team running the operation that when I was asked to become a Board member I readily accepted the invitation. The mission of the organization is something I very strongly support and was also a big draw for me to become a Board member.
In the time I've been involved with Lake Champlain International, we have grown from a plucky group working our hardest to simply survive to a thriving organization that has an ability to really focus on it's mission. It has been an impressive transition in that time, and I anticipate even better things to come as we continue to grow and diversify our organization.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
watching it grow and seeing us having an impact on water quality in the Champlain Basin through our activities like BLUE, and improvements in the fishery quality through our involvement with the local - and federal - agencies that regulate and maintain the fishery.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make sure it grows at the right pace.
