CONCORD, N.H. — NH LAKES recently welcomed Terry Mattson to their board of directors.
Mattson grew up in Deering, New Hampshire, and spent 30 years in Austin, Texas, where she built a successful career as an executive in the medical device and biopharmaceutical space. She holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Texas A&M University-Central Texas and an MBA from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. After a successful career, Mattson retired early with a goal of joining organizations that focus on protecting New Hampshire waterbodies so that future generations could be fortunate to experience what she did growing up. She felt NH LAKES was the obvious choice and is excited to join the talented staff and board to accomplish the organization’s goals.
When asked why joining the board of NH LAKES was important to her, Mattson responded, “Looking back, I had an idyllic childhood with access to many waterbodies that made summers the ultimate memory. I’d be honored to help future generations experience what I did as a child. When I was growing up, clean water was a given; however, now it isn’t, and we need to protect what we have.”
Mattson and her husband moved to New Hampshire in 2021 and now live full-time at their home on Crescent Lake in Acworth. Their two adult children love the lake and spend as much time there as possible. She is a contributing member of the Crescent Lake Association’s Water Quality Group and a founding Director of the CLEAR Trust. She was instrumental in raising awareness regarding the need for a watershed plan for Crescent Lake, which is now in progress.
“We are thrilled to welcome Terry to the NH LAKES Board. She brings invaluable expertise, energy and passion to our mission of protecting and restoring New Hampshire’s lakes,” said Jim Dexter, NH LAKES board chair.
Established in 1992, the mission of NH LAKES, a statewide, publicly supported nonprofit organization, is to restore and preserve the health of New Hampshire’s lakes. For more information, visit nhlakes.org, email [email protected], or call 603-226-0299.
