Allison (Allie) Provost is a new  representative this year from the Division of Finance and Administration (DFA) where she is a General Merchandise Manager at the Bookstore.  Allie currently serves on the newly reinstituted Compensation, Benefits & Budget Committee (CBB) for Non-Represented Staff.  Click here to find out more about the work of CBB as well as all the committees.  When Allie became a representative, she stated, "As a newcomer to the University of Vermont network, it’s important to me to actively seek out ways to get involved, meet new people who challenge me and help me grow, and establish myself within the community. My grandmother was a former UVM employee, and my mother is a UVM graduate, so I feel I owe it them to be a catalyst for positive change in a place they both deeply value. "
