Carl Thum, Board President

Carl Thum, Board President

After 37 years of working with students, Carl retired from Dartmouth College where he served as Director of the Academic Skills Center. During his tenure, Carl built a robust program, which included the creation of the Office of Disability Services. Prior to joining Visions’ Board in 2017, Carl served for 3 years on the board of a small nonprofit that provided services to the Vermont IDD community. Through his daughter with special needs, Carl has developed a strong connection to the disability services community of the Upper Valley. He lives in Norwich with his wife Lisa and their daughter, who will be a resident of Visions Hanover when it opens in 2024.

Carol Andrew, Board Vice President

Carol Andrew, Board Vice President

Throughout her 47 years as an occupational therapist, Carol helped people with various disabilities, in private practice, at diagnostic clinics, and intervention centers across Vermont and New Hampshire. After receiving her doctorate, she served as an Assistant Professor at the Geisel School of Medicine (Dartmouth College), for 15 years, where she was a leading advocate of family-centered, developmentally supportive care and infant-toddler development. She has served 10 years on her church council. Carol is guardian to an elderly cousin with a developmental disability, which gives her valuable insight into the needs of the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) population as they age. She lives with her husband in Canaan.

For 28 years, Bill was a physician-researcher at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DMHC), publishing extensively in the peer-reviewed medical literature. After receiving his medical training at the Virginia Medical College and the University of Virginia, he joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he worked for 3 years. In 1991, DMHC recruited Bill to serve as a bridge between outcomes research and clinical practice at the institution. He served on the Executive Committee of an NIH funded National Lung Cancer Screen Trial and Principal Investigator for a substudy that evaluated the effectiveness of lung cancer screening. A resident of Hanover, Bill has an adult daughter with a learning disability and seizure disorder, who lives at Visions’ Green Street Commons, in Lebanon.
