Secretary

Jessica Tribbett

Jessica has a Masters in Library and Information Sciences and is passionate about community growth and engagement.  The absence of early childcare and affordable childcare is an issue that predominately impacts mothers. She views the lack of childcare in our county is a social justice issue as the impact of this missing resource is largely carried on the shoulders of women and lower income families.
