While working in our western healthcare system her curiosity for health and healing led her to studying and teaching yoga, energy medicine, mindfulness, stress resiliency, and integrative health. This led to her involvement in co-created an integrative program for substance use recovery in a new treatment center in Vermont where she was the

From Gary De Carolis:

Five (six!) words that describe Anne Lezak: Energetic, Engaged Connector, Quick-Witted, Nature-lover, Altruistic.

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. My husband and I moved to “suburban” Rutland over 35 years ago. I became attached to the community and made life-long friends through raising our three kids, serving on local boards and the Rutland County Democratic Committee, and as executive director of the Boys & Girls Club. I worked remotely for many years, writing grant proposals, reports, and newsletters, and edited five books. I’ve relished teaching and leading workshops on grant-writing, board development, and nonprofit leadership.

When my husband ran for state representative, I signed on as his campaign manager. He beat a long-term incumbent, and I jumped into local and state politics, most recently serving as Vermont Democratic Party Chair in 2022-23. We moved to Burlington a dozen years ago, where I’ve embraced being able to walk and bike almost everywhere. For some years I worked in a leadership role at Mercy Connections, a wonderful local nonprofit.

My husband and I joined Peace Corps Response in 2017 and spent a life-changing year in Mbarara, Uganda. I’ve since returned seven times, continuing to support Hospice Africa Uganda and deepening my connections with Ugandan colleagues.
