In Caitlin's own words, “If there is one thing, I am most passionate about, it is giving everyone visiting our region the most authentic experience possible. Our area is bursting at the seams with history, beauty, and adventure - but our people are what really makes it shine! I am delighted to start my new role at the WGACC and can't wait to get to know my community on a deeper level."
