Jen has worked throughout the country at other Outdoor Education centers over the last decade. She studied at Sterling College, in the northeast kingdom of Vermont and Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin. Vermont is the perfect place for Jen since her favorite season is winter and all of the fun that comes with it: skiing, sledding, snow sculptures, etc. Although summer holds the key, unfrozen ponds, to her favorite sport: sailing. She is a certified instructor with the American Red Cross, an active member of the American Camp Association including volunteering as a visitor and standards instructor plus she is a member of the New England Environmental Education Alliance.
	Deb Williams, Co-ordinator of Hulbert's Elderhostel programs and Director of Public Events & Partnerships, has worked for the Hulbert Outdoor Center since 1988. A graduate of SUNY at Cortland in Outdoor Recreation, she worked for the Massachusetts Audubon Society as a classroom natural history teacher and a sanctuary manager before coming to Vermont. She is a Wilderness First Responder, and an American Canoe Association certified instructor. Her passions include canoeing and snowshoeing in the wilderness of northern Quebec. She and Andy Williams, Hulbert's Director, have three children, Tressa, Lindsey and Justin, all of whom have grown up at the Hulbert Outdoor Center, have been campers at the Aloha Camps, and have worked for The Aloha Foundation as well.
	If you've spent any time around Hulbert, you have surely talked or worked with Lynn Daly, Hulbert's Registrar. She's the "glue" that keeps us all together! A graduate of Boston University, Lynn came to Hulbert in 1990, "pre-computers", and has worked many years on developing an efficient registration system for the 7,000-plus folks we see each year. Lynn is the person with all the information anyone could need about our programs. Lynn's two children, Tate and Erin, both attended the Aloha Camps and worked at Hulbert over the years.
