Ken & Lola Saccardo
New Board Member Spotlight & Student Celebration
This week’s profile is double hitter. Compass is thrilled to announce that Lola Saccardo’s art work was awarded $500 from the Myrin Foundation. Lola an 11th grader in her second year at Compass. Beyond her obvious artistic talents, she is also interested in music and veterinary sciences. Congratulations to Lola!
We’re equally excited to welcome Lola's dad, Ken Saccardo, to our growing Compass Board. After traveling the US coast-to-coast, Ken moved to Vermont in the early 90s. A multi-passionate entrepreneur, his career has spanned the restaurant industry, property rental, real estate, supporting local tourism, and online marketing companies. Ken enjoys making music, teaching Tai Chi and sustainable living.
