According to Jackson, “Carroll Tomorrow has been fortunate to have talented staff since it was created in 2001.

Loy Howard, Co-founder and Chairman of the Carroll Tomorrow Board of Directors says, “Brian is exactly the kind of person we need right now to add to our team to help us carry out the Advantage Carroll plan. Through the recent strategic planning process, community leaders have created an aggressive plan with high expectations so we needed someone with the energy, drive, and experience to help us achieve our goals.”

Jackson states, “We have a strong team representing Carroll Tomorrow, the Chamber, and the Burson Center. I believe Brian will be a valuable addition to our staff. We have a full agenda but we also have many volunteers, partners, and stakeholders who will help us make it happen. I encourage everyone to meet Brian and welcome him to this great community.”
