White County has a new Parks and Recreation Director. Kim McEntire was recently selected for the job.
White County Manager Joey Cason said there were over 50 applicants from across the United States who applied for the position. From the 50 applicant field, Cason said they narrowed it down to ten, and then five were selected for interviews. From there, two were selected for the final interview and presentation.
McEntire is currently serving as Assistant Director with the Banks County Parks and Recreation Department.
“We are excited about Kim joining our community,” says Cason. “She brings strong planning and organizational skills along with 20 years of experience in the parks and recreation field.”
McEntire succeeds Joe Gailey who stepped down from the position in August. Deena Cowart and Corey Collins served as co-interim directors as the county conducted its search for a permanent full-time director.
