He is also skilled in public participation and using a number of mapping, visualization and data management technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

“We are really excited to have Paul join the Board,” said LGLC Executive Director Jamie Brown. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience related to planning and land use but more than that he brings a real love of the lake and connection to this place. Paul has an energy and vision makes his excitement contagious. He seems to know everyone and has a warm personality and passion that makes him a great ambassador for the LGLC. He will make a great addition to our already strong group of community leaders.”

“Having grown up in Bolton,” Cummings said, “I have a deep and abiding connection to Lake George. My grandparents, after decades of spending their summer months on St. Sacrament Island, retired to Bolton. My parents and brother still reside in Bolton, and I share a second home in Basin Bay with my extended family. I believe serving on the LGLC’s Board of Directors will provide me with an opportunity to play a meaningful role in helping to preserve Lake George so that my two boys will enjoy the same experiences that I look back on so fondly.”
