Happy Statehood Day, Tennessee.

Since 1796, the Volunteer State has been a beacon for opportunity, security & freedom, & we remained focused on strengthening our state for future generations of Tennesseans.

I was proud to host 34 New and Re-assigned ANR Agents the past two days in the Central Region. The agents attended sessions at the Central Region Office and the Highland Rim AREC to help with their new roles.
