Board of Directors
Our Board members bring different perspectives to the table, but are united by a love for purposeful work, community, and the Northern Lake George region.
Mike Corbo
Mike’s passion for the community and its youth inspires his work as NLGF’s Executive Director.
Mike served on the Board of Directors of the United Way of the Greater Capital Region in Albany for nearly a decade, while maintaining a successful career as a Vice President with Enterprise Rent-A-Car and owning his own Auto-Appraisal Company.
Mike renewed his love for the Northern Lake George Region when he and his wife moved back to Ticonderoga to care for his aging parents. After his return, Mike began substitute teaching at the Ticonderoga Central School District where he immediately began to develop a positive relationship with many of the students and staff throughout the entire district while coming to understand the spectrum of challenges and needs facing the youth of our community.
