Laurie Rivard

Laurie Rivard always seems to be moving. In college, she lettered in volleyball and, remarkably, swimming – most unusual in that Laurie's high school did not have a pool! "Not surprisingly, I was not the team's best swimmer," she smiles, "so they named me 'Most Improved.'" Today, when she is not busy helping clients, you can find her watching her daughters' sporting events, golfing, or making plans for her next travel adventure. Adding her active involvement with her alma mater among other organizations makes Laurie's a fast-paced life. And a good one.
