Board of Directors
Butch Roberts
President
As a native of Vermont residing in a small town with a notable lake, Butch developed an early appreciation for the environment. His family has vacationed at Middle Pond since the 1970s and his subsequent relocation there upon retiring in 2019 have solidified his dedication to environmental preservation, particularly regarding ponds. After serving 6 years on the Indian Pond Association board, including 2 as president, Butch saw that Indian Pond's needs are much like those of the other 163 ponds in town. The Town of Barnstable has the greatest number of ponds of any town on the Cape and yet remained one of the diminishing number of towns without a town-wide pond organization to advocate for the health and safety of its ponds. Butch brings 45 years of business experience, 15 years as a selectman, and 20 years as a volunteer firefighter along with a passion for a healthy environment for all.
John Thomas
Vice President
In 1959 young John washed ashore in Sandwich. Since the 60’s he camped across much of the US and eastern Canada including all the maritime Provinces. His travel experience helped him understand the magnificence of the outdoors and how unique and special our Cape home is. Professionally he hired and coached hundreds of professionals in the disciplines of science, engineering, operations, communication, technology and finance. He has always been involved in team building, organizational performance and change management.
