“My family and I are looking
forward to coming home to Kentucky. We have family in Bowling Green, Glasgow, Lexington,
and the surrounding area, so we are extremely excited,” said Ramsey. He went on
to say that he appreciates the confidence Warren RECC's Board of Directors has
placed in him to lead the organization, which is celebrating its 75th

“There were some very good
candidates, but the Board is confident we made the right choice with Scott
Ramsey,” said Rebecca Goad, President of the Board of Directors.
