The Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County, the non-profit organization behind much of the historic preservation effort that made Franklin the community it is today,  announced last week its first-ever CEO. The Foundation’s Board of Directors selected Bari Watson Beasley, a Williamson County resident, to succeed longtime Executive Director Mary Pearce as head of the organization.
Beasley doesn’t official start her position as CEO until Monday, May 8 but did perform her first duty when she cut the ribbon for the Main Street Festival this past weekend.
We were able to speak with Beasley in downtown Franklin to learn more about some of her favorite things. Â Congratulations to Beasley on her new role at the Heritage Foundation.
