BRADD’s deputy executive director announces retirement after 33 years

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – One Barren River Area Development District official is being honored this week after announcing her retirement following her work at the organization for 33 years.

Michelle Hines started working for BRADD’s developmental council in 1989 as a homecare case manager before being promoted to the associate director of aging, according to a release.

The organization says she worked in that role for 12 years.

Amy Carroll, BRADD’s finance director, says, “I’ve had the privilege of working with Michelle for 20 years. She has been a great supporter of the ADD and a mentor to me and numerous others that have come through our doors. Her willingness to serve has changed the lives of many throughout our BRADD region. I will miss her tremendously but wish her much happiness in her retirement.”

The Area Agency on Aging and Independent Living is BRADD’s social services unit that has both federal and state responsibilities concerning older Americans and those with disabilities.

“I was most honored to accept the deputy director position at BRADD. I loved this because I was able to be more creative and assist our clients in getting the services they needed,” Hines says.

BRADD’s executive director Eric Sexton has shared his appreciation for what Hines has given to the organization, saying she has brought attention to the importance of helping others.

Thank you to Hines for your dedication to our community.
