Amy Holbrook has been a staff member of Middlebury College since October of 1993 and a proud member of the economics department since May of 1997.

Amy and her mother Elaine Holbrook (a breast cancer survivor) have been proud members of the Ova Chicks Relay team since the first Relay was initiated at Middlebury College in April 2003. During Relay 2005 Amy received one of two Spirit Awards.

In April 2005, Amy received a Staff Recognition Award, endowed by Rudolf K. Haerle, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Sociology, for her "record of leadership, stewardship, and community service at Middlebury College." As a recipient of this award, Amy served as a member of the selection committee for the 2006 award recipients.

Amy was elected Staff Council member-at-large and was an active member on Staff Council during her two-year term (July 2006-July 2008), serving on the executive committee in the capacity of co-secretary during her first year. While on staff council Amy served on several subcommittees, including staff appeals. She also served as the staff council liaison for the Green Cleaning and Personal Care Project in 2006 organized by Campus Sustainability Coordinator, Jack Byrne.

In May 2008, Amy was nominated for the Rodney and Beverly DeGray Staff Appreciation Award.

Prior to joining the economics department, Amy served as bookkeeper for the American Collegiate Consortium, a grant-funded undergraduate exchange program between the former Soviet Union and the surrounding Baltic States, based at Middlebury College. It was here that she began developing close relationships with international students, a passion that has continued throughout her time at Middlebury College. While always "hosting" international students, Amy only became an "official" host parent in 2006 through the Friends of International Students Host Program. She currently has a host son from Turkey and is waiting to be matched up to host another international student entering this fall.

Amy is the proud mother of four sons. Her eldest, Bryan, recently graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia with a Master of Architecture. He is currently building a house that he designed and has applied to the Peace Corps. Her second son, Bob, is in his final year at the University of New Hampshire as a Bachelor of Fine Arts studio art major. He will graduate in May 2008. Her third son, Sam, is a first-year student majoring in industrial design at Syracuse University in New York. Her fourth son, Elliot, is 2 years old and loves being read to, playing with cars, planes, and trains, and already has a passion for art and sports like his big brothers!
