Imelda Turner, President
My name is Imelda Turner and I live in Morrisville Vermont. I am originally from the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas. I have a career in the financial industry working with Edward Jones Investments in Morrisville as a Branch Office Administrator.
Prior to working at Edward Jones, I worked with several non-profit organizations in our community. I worked in direct service positions supporting youth and families and helped them navigate community services.
I believe my purpose in life has been to help others. I've been very blessed to have been in positions that allow me the opportunity to follow my passion. I am also an advocate for self-care and living a balanced lifestyle. My daily practice includes beginning each day with gratitude and mindfulness.
In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, golfing, reading and spending time with friends. I also enjoy do it yourself home projects.
I joined the NCVRC Board with the hope to help others know that through hope, self -respect and love, anything is possible!

Dr. Joe Brock, Treasurer
Dr. Brock and his wife Betsy moved to Morristown in early 2019 after retiring from his family practice in Berlin, Vermont. Dr. Brock practiced family medicine in Vermont and Michigan for over 30 years, including 21 years in Muskegon, Michigan and another 10 years at Central Vermont Medical Center. He is a 1983 graduate of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. His experience in family medicine included hospital and office work, obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics, and behavioral health. In recent years, he has been active in Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) for opioid use disorders (OUD). Over the years, Joe writes, he has learned much from his patients in recovery and has found behavioral medicine to be a rewarding part of his medical practice. In his retirement, Joe is looking forward to working with our community on some of its most pressing social needs.
