Carol Coletta and Jim Reeder have been appointed to serve on prestigious national advisory boards.

In September, Carol will join the board of directors for the National Parks and Recreation Association (NRPA). The NRPA represents more than 60,000 parks and recreation professionals and advocates to encourage healthy and active lifestyles, conservation and equitable access to parks and open space.

Jim has been appointed to the Mississippi River Commission by President Trump, effective immediately. The commission, established in 1879, includes the US Army Corps of Engineers, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and three senior civilians to oversee federal investments in the Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries project across the entire length of the river. Jim becomes only the third civilian from Tennessee appointed to the commission.
