Steering Committee

What does it take to enhance the appearance of Sullivan County, while awakening community pride? The goal of Sullivan Renaissance - in collaboration with the people who live and work and visit here - is to answer that question through action. To that end, the staff and steering committee of Sullivan Renaissance work hard to provide the resources and assistance to accomplish our mission.

Sandra Gerry's Vision

“My thoughts turned almost immediately to Sullivan County- why couldn't we do something like that here?”

The role of the Steering Committee is to be a sounding board and source of feedback on general program development and specific initiatives and ideas. Members also serve as ambassadors for the Sullivan Renaissance program. Steering Committee members typically attend three meetings per year, as well as special events such as the Annual Conference in March, the Spring Forum in April and the Awards Ceremony in August. They also participate by reviewing and awarding grants, and assist with additional activities depending on their time and expertise.
