Leadership Jackson County
Board of Directors 2026-2027

Born and raised in Jackson County, I served 25 years with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Dept, retiring as Sheriff. I had the privilege of attending Leadership Jackson County in 2005-2006 and joined the Board of Directors in 2007. I most recently rejoined the board in 2022. Since retiring from the Sheriff’s Office, I manage our six-generation family farm and have a small contracting business. 

I am a Commercial Service Agent at Beatty Insurance, Inc. where I have worked since 1997. As a 2023 graduate of Leadership Jackson County, I have learned that it is okay to leave the workday behind to invest in our community. I joined the Board of Directors for LJC in 2023. I am a mom of three and grandmother of four. 

​

I graduated from Leadership Jackson County in 2024 and joined the Board of Directors in the same year. I have worked at Cummins for the past 14 years where I am the Senior Finance Analyst. Leadership Jackson County has helped me learn about the different ways one can be involved in the community.

​

I have been with the Jackson County Chamber for 13 years. I was part of the LJC class of 2022, and I joined the Leadership Jackson County Board in 2024. My husband and I have three grown children and a granddaughter. Participating in LJC gave me crucial exposure to Jackson County during the expansion of the Chamber.

Graduating from LJC in 2013, I served on the Board of Directors from 2014-2019. I am currently serving my second term on the board. I am the Director of Diagnostic Imaging at Schneck Medical Center where I have worked for the past 36 years. LJC has helped me foster an environment where people work together effectively to achieve common goals and objectives.

I serve as the Retail Operations Manager at Premier Companies, where I've spent the past seven years leading teams and enhancing customer experiences. I am a proud 2020 graduate of LJC and joined the Board of Directors in 2025. I am a devoted husband and father of two daughters. My passion for people and dedication to service are matched by a deep commitment to the community where I live and work.

I was lucky to be part of the LJC class of 2023-2024 through my employer, Rose Acre Farms. I learned so much about Jackson County and made invaluable connections during my LJC class year. I was born and raised in Jennings Couty where I recently built a home. I am excited to join the LJC board to help continue its great work in Jackson County.

I am a 2025 graduate of LJC and a lifelong resident of Jackson County. I serve as a Financial Center Manager at First Financial Bank, where I am most passionate about coaching, developing, and supporting individuals and families in our community. The knowledge and connections I gained through LJC align closely with my passions and have inspired me to continue finding meaningful ways to make a positive impact in both the community and in my leadership. 

I proudly serve as Jackson County Recorder. My family and I live in Brownstown, where I served as Brownstown Township Trustee for 16 years prior to my current role. I was in the Leadership Jackson County class of 2023 and found it to be an amazing experience. LJC has given me the chance to meet some wonderful people, and I am excited to have the opportunity to serve on the LJC Board of Directors.​​​

I was in the LJC class of 1998, and this is my second time serving on the Leadership Jackson County Board of Directors. I am the Senior Vice President and Chief Credit Administration Officer at JCBank where I have worked for over 30 years. My husband and I have two daughters and one son-in-law. 

Work in this community is more connected that I realized prior to my participation in LJC. I graduated in 2024, and joined the Board of Directors in the same year. I am the Senior Materials Engineer for Aisin World Corporation of America, and I help my dad and brother on our family farm. I am married with one son and have lived in Brownstown all my life.​​

I am a graduate of the 2019-2020 Leadership Jackson County class. I joined the LJC Board of Directors in 2025. I am an attorney with Lorenzo, Bevers, Braman, & Connell, LLP, in Seymour.

I was born and raised in Jackson County but was still surprised by how much my wife and I learned as LJC class members. While my work life at Cummins and Schwätzer's German Restaurant connects me to my community, LJC engages me with my community. This engagement has confirmed my motivation to raise our family in Jackson County. ​​

A lifelong resident of Brownstown, I enjoy spending time with my family and attending local sporting events. At Blue & Co., LLC, I am a Senior Staff Accountant where I have been employed since 2019. Graduating from LJC in 2023, I appreciate the opportunities this county has to offer and I'm always looking for new ways to give back to the community. 

I have been the Freeman Municipal Airport Manager for the past 3 years. I graduated from LJC in 2024 and joined the Board of Directors in the same year. I am thankful to work in and support the many great communities we have surrounding us. One of my takeaways from LJC was that working as a team with integrity, dignity, perseverance, and transparency can create solutions to all obstacles.  

I was born and raised in Jackson County. I have been employed by the Jackson County Sheriff Department for over 23 years where I am currently Chief Deputy. I absolutely love family time and helping people in any way I can. I graduated from LJC in 2023 and joined the LJC Board of Directors in 2024.

I was in the LJC class of 2016, and joined the Board of Directors in 2022. I am currently the Director of Child & Family Services at Centerstone where I have worked for nearly 25 years. My family and I reside in Seymour, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve Jackson County through my involvement with LJC.

A mom of two, I'm currently working as an Employee Relations Administrator at JCBank. I have been the Director of YoJACK since 2020.

I worked at Schneck Medical Center for over 27 years, retiring as the Director of Staff Development in 2025. I helped develop the Schneck Leadership Institute and was involved in helping support team members through education and training to strengthen their skills. I graduated from LJC in 2003, and I am excited to continue teaching and supporting professionals in Jackson County as they strengthen their leadership skills, grow in self-awareness, and become more confident, effective leaders.
