Joe and his wife, Ann Marie, both originally from the Boston area, have made Woodstock their home for over thirty years and have raised three daughters here. The entire family has used the Norman Williams Public Library extensively over the years. We love the library and hold it in high esteem based on firsthand knowledge of its value as a community resource.

He has served on many boards of local organizations during his career, including previously being on the library’s Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2002. Joe is honored to once again be involved in the administration of the library’s affairs.

Tom List, Secretary
Tom is a third generation hotelier, who grew up in New York City, living and working in hotels his father managed. At age nine, Tom went right to work washing pots and pans in the main kitchen for 25 cents a pot and continued to hold a hotel job every summer from then on all the way through college. Graduating from Denver University School of Hotel & Restaurant Management, Tom started his career back in his hometown with Westin Hotels at The Plaza Hotel. There he met Cindy, his wife of 37 years who had also started at The Plaza months before. Both being raised in the business, (her father Richard Holtzman was the founding President of Rockresorts) they found much in common, and the rest is history. Following The Plaza, Tom’s background in hotel management includes The Williamsburg Inn, Colonial Williamsburg; Pointe Resorts in Arizona; The Grafton Inn, The Woodstock Inn and Resort, Kedron Valley Inn (owner and managing partner), both in Woodstock, Vermont; The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia and The Colony Hotel Palm Beach.
Tom and Cindy have two grown children and their dachshund Stuart. They moved to Vermont in 1994, lived in Woodstock through 2012 and have recently returned to retire in Woodstock and enjoy the quality of life that Vermont has to offer.
Tom has previously served on the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce as President and the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce as Vice-President.
Donna Bold
Donna is a life-long supporter of and lover of libraries. She views libraries not only as a source of enlightenment, community engagement, and wonder, but also as a haven in a busy world. A quiet place to read, to think, to learn, to study, to grow, and to engage with others. The heart of the community.
Donna was born and raised in northern New Jersey and graduated from Bucknell University with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. She met her husband, Jim, at Bucknell and they married shortly after graduation. They settled in NJ, and both commuted to New York City for work, Donna as a corporate engineer for AT&T. Her work focused on the corporation’s twenty-two manufacturing facilities. She developed AT&T’s long-range manufacturing technology planning process and was responsible for annually writing the five-year strategic manufacturing plan for AT&T Board approval.
Donna and Jim raised three sons in New Jersey, but from the time the boys were toddlers the family travelled almost every weekend to Vermont to ski at Okemo Mountain. It is no surprise, therefore, that they chose Vermont as their home when it was time to retire. They bought their home in the Village in 2014 and were thrilled to move into it full time in 2019. When not reading or hosting family, Donna can be found outside: alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing and simply enjoying the gorgeous Woodstock area.
