MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Chamber of Commerce recently announced that it has hired Sarah M. Audet to serve as Events and Tourism Manager. Audet is a 2008 graduate of Middlebury College with a B.A. in Religion and 2010 graduate of Northeastern University with a M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration.
