CCTV Board Welcomes Eric Covey as Newest Member

The board of CCTV, home to Town Meeting TV, CCTV Productions, and The Vermont Language Justice Project welcomes newest board member, Eric Covey.

Eric currently serves as Chief of Staff for Vermont’s Secretary of State Jim Condos, where he works to increase government transparency and accountability, and reduce barriers to voting for all Vermonters.

Eric served on the Winooski City Council from 2017-2019, where he advocated for progressive, people-centered policies that ensure Winooski residents are safe, connected, and supported. He also served on the Winooski Charter Commission, responsible for crafting the now-effective all-resident voting charter change.

Eric is the Founder of the New Leaders Council (NLC) Vermont chapter, and was Director from 2017-2019, focusing on recruiting, training and supporting the next generation of emerging, progressive leaders in Vermont. He was a founding board member and Co-Director of the NLC Maine chapter before moving back to Vermont, and is a trainer for the organization nationally. Eric has years of progressive policy experience working to empower his community members to engage in the decision making process on a local, statewide, and national level.

He loves spending time outdoors with his partner Elsie, their dog Luka, their cat Kermit and friends and family, when the world allows it.
