Current Activities
Board member on Operation Song (non-profit organization that connects veterans, active military, and their families to professional songwriters to write the participant's personal song). Member of the Economic Development Committee (Lebanon Wilson Chamber of Commerce). Member of the Lebanon Wilson Chamber of Commerce. Member of BNI-Lebanon. Member of Wilson ONE. Attendee of Living Sent Ministries. Member of the TN Christian Chamber of Commerce.
Major Barriers
The main (past) barrier for me to be more involved in our local community was that I held a global executive position at a company +50 miles from my home in Lebanon so travel to/from work daily and business travel monthly made community commitment difficult. I now own my own business and have both the time and desire to give back to this community.
Why Should You Be Selected To Participate
As an executive coach and business consultant with 30 years’ experience in the manufacturing and supply chain management industries, my career has focused on strategic development and execution of targeted business initiatives, driving culture change and achieving business objectives. My expertise includes global human resources strategy, M&A, talent acquisition, retention, and succession planning, policy and procedure compliance, organizational development, employee relations, and benefit plan design. As such, I feel that I bring a wealth of knowledge to the program along with a curious "learner" mindset in how I can best utilize my skills, education, and experience to serve Wilson County.
Expectations From/For Participation
Learning about Wilson County and all it has to offer is exciting. This is a pivotal time for Wilson County with the continued economic growth and I'd like to serve our community in leadership and executive development. There's a two fold approach for my interest: first, I get the opportunity to learn about our wonderful county and second, I can provide insights and unique business experience to the other participants. I'd like to be able to help grow the organizations within Wilson County by serving them as both an executive coach and strategic business partner. Learning more about the activities in and around my hometown is absolutely essential to being a contributing resident and local business owner.
Community Challenge / Issue / Goal
Economic development is both an opportunity and challenge for Wilson County. I've learned so much from being a member on the Lebanon Wilson Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. Growth in the Lebanon area has been, and will continue to be, a huge focus and opportunity for the local community. However, with growth comes challenges. As a human resources professional, I witnessed first hand the disconnect between "school" and "business"... the skills gap between what is being taught in our schools (from middle school through college) and the skills needed in our local businesses. I hope to provide solutions to the growing gap in soft skills and leadership skills that will provide better career opportunities for young adults just out of school and give a differentiating factor to our local businesses.
