Seeking Board Members
Members of Headwaters Community Trust will elect HCT’s first board at its first annual Membership Meeting on December 9, 2025.
Headwaters wants to hear from people who care deeply about housing affordability, and who are willing to work as part of a team to implement the community land trust model in response to the needs of our neighbors and our region.

BECOME A MEMBER
Our members will make up the community that guides the trust in fulfilling its charitable purposes: To provide affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income people, to promote community economic vitality, and to make land available for projects and activities that improve the quality of life in our service area.
Members elect the trust's board of directors and vote on trust policies. By serving on committees and work groups, members guide and direct every aspect of the work of the trust, including community relations, property acquisition and development, fundraising, and operations. By simply following our work and sharing it with friends and family, members can help the trust grow.
Every adult who supports our purposes and lives, works, volunteers, or studies within the headwaters region of the Black, Barton, and Lamoille Rivers (comprising the four towns of Albany, Craftsbury, Glover, and Greensboro, and all adjoining communities) is invited to become a member.
