the unique features and activities found throughout the beautiful state.
Cheryl Bodette, Director of Advertising
A
native Vermonter, Bodette graduated from the University of
Alaska-Fairbanks with a degree in art and journalism. Her experience
with Alaska Today Magazine was instrumental in launching her extensive
career in media sales. Bodette's twenty-years of experience in print,
radio, magazine, and online sales has included positions with Gannett,
WEZF 92.9 Radio, National Gardening Magazine, and Verizon, confirming
her as a skilled and valuable resource in her role as director of
advertising at Wind Ridge Publishing.

a New Jersey native, ventured to the Green Mountain State to attend the
University of Vermont... and never left after graduating. Prior to
