Stephen: How did your final decision to take the Hildene position come about?
Craig: After my final interview on the property, I returned with my 25-year-old son— now a ski instructor at Stratton Mountain— before making my decision. I wanted his perspective.
About twenty minutes into walking the grounds, he told me to stop overthinking it— that everything about Hildene aligned with who I am. That clarity made the decision easy.
Stephen: It sounds like he was right.
Craig: He usually is. I love this place— the people, the work, and the possibilities. I’ m truly excited about what lies ahead and about the opportunity to help Hildene grow in its ability to shape lives and serve its community with purpose and care. n
