The Board of Directors celebrated Rupert Chamberlin's long service to Yankee Farm Credit at its meeting on March 29-30. Rupert has been a director since 1993 when he was elected to the board of Farm Credit of the Connecticut Valley. In 1995 Farm Credit of the Connecticut Valley merged with Champlain Valley Farm Credit to become Yankee Farm Credit.
The board meeting was at the Town & Country Motor Inn in Shelburne, NH, where they do a cake right, with sparklers!
Over the years Rupert served with many directors and several CEOs. The current crew:

Rupert, thank you for your wisdom and counsel over the years. Best wishes to you and Muriel!
