To the editor:

I began my journey helping the Brown County community this month as the marketing, communications and outreach officer at the Brown County Community Foundation. What an amazing community full of beauty, passion, intellect and integrity. The people I have met have been inspirational. Each conversation reveals the connections folks have with this special place.

From civic engagement to compassionate pride, I have enjoyed becoming a piece of the community. I hope to find common ground to be engaged and accepted as a caring member of the community as my work continues. Independent spirit and an abundance of natural beauty — this is my kind of place! I aim to bring perspectives to my work that will enhance this place while building lifelong relationships along the way.

I invite you to stop by the community foundation building to say hello when you are in Nashville as I welcome the ideas, input and experience people carry with them in this great county.

Welcome to Brown County? Yes, and I will enjoy the ride!

Sincerely,

Sean Hildreth, marketing, communications and outreach officer, Brown County Community Foundation
