LOWVILLE — Naturally Lewis, Inc. recently appointed three new members to its board of directors: Jessica Dunn, Michael Jackson, and Harley Snyder.
Dunn, a senior budget analyst for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has chosen to call Lewis County home after her retirement from service with the U.S. Army. While in the Army, she served as a finance officer, making her way to the highest level at the U.S. Department of Defense. “Jessica has remarkable experience working with taxpayer funds, and strategic insight to effectively contribute to the board’s decision-making processes,” Naturally Lewis, a nonprofit economic-development organization, said in a news release.
Jackson has worked as the general manager of Viking Cives in Harrisville for the last 10 years, equipping him with a unique perspective on the manufacturing industry in the community. Additionally, he is a Lewis County Leadership Academy alumnus, an experience that enhanced his substantial leadership skills and provided an immersive experience into the diverse landscape of Lewis County, Naturally Lewis said.
Snyder currently works as the UP! Coalition coordinator and operates a small hobby farm in Copenhagen. She has a strong passion for local agriculture and community involvement; Snyder also serves on the Lewis County Cornell Cooperative Extension board of directors and sits on its 4-H Program Committee.
After a competitive application and interviewing process, these candidates showed a strong commitment to the mission of Naturally Lewis, which involves championing the growth of a community where people want to live, work, build business, and play, the economic-development organization said.
“Naturally Lewis, Inc. is focused on creating a board of strong community leaders with diverse backgrounds and skills. We also make a conscious effort to ensure our board members live and work in different areas throughout Lewis County. It is exciting to see the interest expressed by our community members to participate in our work and join our board,” Eric Virkler, chairperson of the Naturally Lewis board of directors, said.
