Three join Copley Hospital board of trustees

“The board is always looking to increase community engagement and support by encouraging community members to become Friends of Copley. This group meets twice a year and is invited to participate in several hospital events,” Deborah Pomeroy, chair of the Copley Governance Committee, said. “Hospital volunteers, community members on hospital committees and, ultimately, members of the board of trustees are drawn from the Friends.”

Salvas, a native Vermonter, was born at Copley and, except for a year or so in Arizona, has spent her entire life and career in Lamoille County. She spent her early professional years in the hospitality field, mostly in front desk and customer service positions. She worked for 13 years at Concept2 in Morrisville.

In 2005, Salvas joined the human resources team at Manufacturing Solutions Inc, where she has worked in several capacities, including sales and marketing and strategic planning, and now serves as president and co-owner. In keeping with her interest in health care, has developed and grown a health and wellness program that introduces employees to acupuncture, physical therapy, reiki, nutritional programs and chiropractic medicine.

“I am a big believer in people taking ownership of their personal health through thoughtful lifestyle choices and healthy living, and I hope to bring some of that knowledge and enthusiasm to my work on the board,” Salvas said.

Landrey graduated from Colgate University and Boston University School of Law. After clerking for a judge on the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals, he spent the next 40 years with Proskauer Rose, a law firm in New York City.

He and his wife, Maureen Kilfoyle, moved to Vermont in 2018, in part, to be closer to their daughter, an internal medicine specialist practicing in Hardwick.

During his career Landrey represented and advised several small community hospitals in various legal matters, which he says gave him a deep appreciation both for the challenges they face and the important role they play in their local communities.

For nine years, Landrey served on the board for Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y., including six as its chair.

Hodge’s road to Vermont began in New Jersey, where he was born and raised. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Kenyon College in Ohio and his doctorate in economics at the University of Chicago.

Following graduation in 1979, Hodge joined the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as an economist before joining IBM as an economist. He moved into corporate finance at the end of the decade, eventually serving as assistant treasurer overseeing financial risk management programs and capital market transactions.

In 2001 Hodge joined AT&T, where he helped guide the company through a financial restructuring process. After acting as an independent consultant for several years, Hodge joined CA Technologies, the business software company, in 2007, first as treasurer and then as controller.

“My specialties include helping organizations develop financial strength and ability to meet their goals while aligning their resources to ensure sustainability,” he said.
