ASCI Secretary Emily Pincomb Doyle relocated from Brooklyn, NY to the Adirondacks in December of 2007; she quickly found that the North Country community could be as full of vitality, passion and culture as the big city.  With a degree from Roanoke College in Philosophy and 10 years experience in the interior design industry, she came to ASCI because of a connection to and belief in true, whole, green design and the incredible impact it can have within a community.  Recently Emily has redirected her career path to her true calling – Nursing.  Health (promotion, management, maintenance, care, etc… ad infinitum…), she believes, is fundamental to a sustainable community.  Married with a dog, she and her husband happily call Wilmington their home.
