VILLAGE MEMBER STORIES

Valerie Gamache (North Hampton)

Valerie Gamache and Brenda Reynolds are two Village members who have been volunteering their time, energy and expertise as "Village Builders" in our office. Together, they are helping us catalog the results of surveys for ongoing follow-up and developing better ways for getting feedback in the future. 

Valerie, a NH native, moved back to the state in 2017 after more than three decades living in Arlington, VA where she worked in health policy and pharmaceutical marketing, including her own consulting business. She is now retired. Valerie has two grown children who live in NYC and DC, where she visits frequently. Her interests vary widely and include fashion sewist, indie films, reading, walking/hiking, her pets (she has two border collies and cats) and environmental advocacy. She is a member of the North Hampton Planning Board, and a Master Gardener and Natural Resource Steward. 

Valerie is a master gardener, a distinction they earned by completing certification classwork at UNH that included course work in botany, soil science, and insects, among other topics. Master Gardeners must perform community service hours and continuing education hours each year to maintain their certification
