REGIONAL COUNCIL
The Regional Council is a certified entity by the State Board that will propose projects and ensure accountability for the use of funds used to support projects endorsed by the Council. The intent of the regional structure is to provide an incentive for regions to collaborate in order to diversify the economy and create high paying jobs in the region.
Regional Councils are business led and include individuals from a variety of sectors; education, government, civic or community leaders, economic and workforce development professionals, local government officials, regional planning entities and nonprofits.
The Region Six Council is currently led by Chair William Beale and Vice Chair Carlton Revere and includes the following 16 council members: Wally Beauchamp, Lou Belcher, Elizabeth Crowther, Bruce Davis, Val Foulds, Steve Goodall, Stephanie Heinatz, Lisa Hull, Mike Jenkins, Anne Lewis, Kim McClellan, Morgan Quicke, Anne Richardson, Bryan Taliaferro, John Wells and Kimberly Young.
