Marlboro Community Center Board
Gail MacArthur, Chair & Treasurer
I first came to Marlboro in 1969 to be with my husband, Dan MacArthur. We have two children and four grandchildren who live nearby. For many years, I drove a school bus in Marlboro and was the Bus Coordinator. I’ve also been involved for many years in community service - as a member of the Marlboro Alliance, a former Selectboard person, a Justice of the Peace, and currently an Auditor and member of the DRB. I serve the Marlboro Community Center as the Treasurer and also as a member of the fundraising group Friends of the MCC. With my husband and other family members, I operate a small vegetable, berry, and maple syrup farm, and I enjoy riding my bike and spending time with friends and family.
Laura Berkowitz
Laura Berkowitz has lived in Marlboro since 1997 and raised two sons, pigs, sheep, and goats at her home on South Road, where she lives with her wife, Chris. She served for many years on the Marlboro Fair Committee and is eager to contribute her skills as an MCC Board member. Laura owns Options In Learning, a tutoring company that provides 1:1 tutoring to students with learning needs in all subject areas, both in person and remotely. When she is not tutoring students or running her business, she likes to play the ukulele, read, ski, and hike on local trails.
Joe Prignano
My wife Didi and I count ourselves fortunate to have found Marlboro and all its wonderful citizens when we retired. I have been pleased to have been a board member of both Marlboro Cares and the Marlboro Community Center. It was a pleasure to help with the destruction and construction of some of the interior to make way for our beautiful Community Center.
Sandy Muschler
We came to Marlboro in September of 2019. I had a career as the Facility Manager for a large church complex, where troubleshooter was my middle name. I now happily read, wander, and cloud-watch. The MCC Board, Library Board, and the Alliance also have my attention. So grateful to have found this wonderful community.
Tim Segar
Tim Segar, long time Faculty Member at Marlboro College, got involved in the MCC helping out with Art shows and has since joined the board in various roles. He is always hopeful about the importance of community action.
Jonathan Morse
Jonathan Morse has lived in Marlboro since 1981. He co-owned Mindel and Morse Builders for 35 years, and served on the Marlboro Selectboard for 2 terms. It’s an honor to serve on this board, with so many wonderful people!

Marlboro Community Center Diversity Statement
The Community Center of Marlboro Vermont is committed to creating a welcoming environment. All visitors and staff will be treated with respect and attention - without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, ability, age, veteran status or political affiliation. Further we strive to create an atmosphere at the Community Center where all ideas are heard and shared with civility, respect, patience, and reciprocity.
The clear and pressing issues of structural racism in the U.S. and Vermont compels us to do several things that publicly state the Marlboro Vermont Community Center’s support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The BLM sign that is now on display inside the center is a visible gesture of that support, shared as it is, by people in front of their homes and businesses across the entire country.
In addition, the Marlboro Community Center website now lists a set of resources for individuals and groups to work on their own approach to issues of racism in the nation and our own community. We would also like to state our own support for an active Anti-Racist approach, which we feel will best effect change over the near and far term. What do we mean by an active anti-racist approach? We have committed to use The Anti–Racist Organizational Development Assessment tool to evaluate the actions and attitudes of the Marlboro Community Center.
