Beth McGuinn’s Welcome Event
October 15, 2014 – Nearly 70 members and partners came to The Nature Conservancy last night to welcome and talk with our new Executive Director, Beth McGuinn.
McGuinn has facilitated all aspects of land conservation: identifying conservation priorities, coordinating fundraising campaigns and raising grant funds, working with landowners. She has considerable experience working with communities and enjoys community work.
The crowd mingled and enjoyed refreshments from our locally conserved farms. Cheese and milk were provided by Bohanan Farm; apples and cider were from Carter Hill Orchard along with some fresh produce from Dimond Hill Farm.
Our Board Chair, Margaret Watkins, introduced Beth and gave some remarks. Beth spoke of how she came to know and learn about Five Rivers and her passion to uphold the Five Rivers’ mission. Her enthusiasm could be felt throughout the room and surely will benefit the organization and the community we serve.
Grappone Toyota/Scion and Revision Energy were the sponsors of the event.
