George Mapp

Past President

George grew up in Nassawadox and is happy to return to Virginia after a career that began with the Navy in southern Mississippi and ended with GSK Pharmaceuticals in Durham, NC.  There he volunteered as an EMT and became a cycling advocate after volunteering with the East Coast Greenway Alliance.  One of George's first jobs was as a lab tech at VIMS, where he worked for a few years before attending grad school. He is a Virginia Master Naturalist, enjoys volunteering at TNC on habitat restoration projects, and is currently chairman of the Eastern Shore Rail Trail Foundation. 

Why I Support CBES: CBES was one of the first organizations to promote the Eastern Shore Rail Trail. Having previously experienced a new trail in Durham, I'm confident that our trail will enable a happier, healthier, and more prosperous community.
