    Tamara Whitmore

    Executive Director
    Tamara and her husband, Shawn, moved to Gardiner in the summer of 2008 and over the years, Tamara has gotten involved with her adoptive city by volunteering on various committees including Gardiner Main Street. Tamara worked for the Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed for over 16 years, first as its Education Director and later as the Executive Director (2014-2023). Tamara is excited to bring her previous experiences to Gardiner Main Street.
