Jiné Andreozzi is the Executive Director of YMCA Camp Chingachgook in Pilot Knob, where she is able to utilize her passion for camp and the outdoors with her educational background in marketing, management, and graphic design. In addition to serving as Chair of the Next Gen Committee, she was also recently appointed to join the LGLC’s Advisory Board.

Andreozzi has worked in the camp and outdoor recreation industry seasonally and full-time for the past 18 years. She is originally from Albany, NY, and is a graduate of Ithaca College.

“I am thrilled to be involved with the Next Gen group,” said Andreozzi. “Living on Lake George year-round inspired me to get involved with the LGLC to ensure that the land and the lake are protected for years to come. It’s so exciting to work with a group of peers who are equally invested in inspiring all ages to think about land conservation!”

Ally Mujica is a rising Senior at Skidmore College majoring in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Environmental Science. After graduation she plans to pursue further education to reach her goal of becoming a wildlife veterinarian.

She serves as the treasurer for both the Skidmore Sailing Club and the Skidmore Polo Club, and looks forward to transferring that knowledge to the LGLC. In her free time she can be found in the lab doing biophysics research, kayaking on the Kayaderosseras creek, climbing, or hiking.
