He spent every summer weekend growing up at the GSL learning to swim, fish and water ski. His family has had a camp in Day for over 60 years. He and his wife Nancy moved back to the area in 2003 and purchased a family camp in 2005. In 2013 that structure was replaced with their dream home. They now reside on the South Shore of Day year-round and LOVE every minute of it. Bob feels that the lake and its unique permit system have worked for over 90 years, why change it now. He would like the GSL to stay as it is so other families can build great memories, as his family has.  Bob joined the SPC board to help continue their mission and to increase awareness of the importance of the SPC’s activities to the lake community.

Tracey is a lifelong resident of the GSL area. She worked in many local establishments around the lake. She did several fundraisers for the SPC and knows many lifelong residents as well as people that have acquired property around the lake.

Tracey worked as a Director for NYSOPWDD for 32 years and retired in 2017. She then moved from the Village of Northville to the North Shore of the GSL. She feels that any changes to the permit system will have detrimental effects on the environment, local businesses and the general well-being of the permit holders, property owners in adjacent counties and local businesses. Her goal is to help spread the word about what the SPC has and will continue to do to safeguard the permit system and all of the people it affects.

Lisa grew up in a small town in Northern Westchester county, but always loved visiting her grandparents and other relatives in the Adirondacks and enjoying the numerous lakes. She graduated from SUNY Albany with a Communications degree and went to work for Reader's Digest for 18 years before starting a construction business with her husband Joe. With their business growing and life becoming more and more hectic, they decided they needed a place to get away and relax, and to spend quality time with their two children. They purchased a seasonal home on the lake and after 15 years, they decided to move here permanently. She and her husband started the Adirondack Floating Dock Shop, and have become involved in the community, sponsoring a local little league team, the SSA snowmobile club, and Lisa joining the SPC. They are all very much enjoying "the lake life." Lisa always knew that she loved the lake.  Now more than ever she realizes that her past and present decisions all hinge on the success and wellbeing of the Great Sacandaga Lake community.  She has decided to dedicate her time and effort to keeping it "great" for her family and future generations.  Lisa is heavily involved in the communications and promotion efforts of the Sacandaga Protection Committee.
