Meet the Community Leaders

Eddie Rogers
Taylor County Judge Executive

“In Taylor County, we shared the same vision. We weren’t going to give up. What’s more, we didn’t wait around for someone else to help us out. We stuck together and helped ourselves.”













John Chowning
Chairman, Team Taylor County

“What sets Campbellsville apart? There’s a special spirit among Taylor Countians. They’re resilient, proud and compassionate. We’re not perfect, but it’s a good place where people still care about people.”













Marilyn Clarke
Executive Director, Taylor County Tourist Commission

“There’s so much to see and do in Taylor County! No matter what you like, whether it’s muskie fishing, Civil War era history or shopping for antiques and handmade cherry furniture, we’ve got that and a whole lot more.”












Michael Collins
President and CEO, Taylor County Hospital

“What I find truly amazing is that here, more than any other community I’ve lived in, there’s an incredible sense of pride in the community. Our people are proud of where they live. This spills over into the workplace, so the result is that we have an outstanding workforce.”












Mike Hall
Outgoing President, Campbellsville-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce

“The story of how Campbellsville and Taylor County made an economic comeback is really the story of how we all came together. Nothing happened to Campbellsville that hasn’t happened to other towns. What’s amazing is how we dealt with the situation.”











Paul Osborne
Campbellsville Mayor

“What makes me the proudest is the quality of the people of Campbellsville and Taylor County. It has been these people that made things work. No single person can take credit for the great economic developments here. We have done this together as a team.”












Dr. Michael Carter
President, Campbellsville University

“The good people of Campbellsville and Taylor County have determined that they’re not going to let external forces determine their future. They have refused to fail and chosen to direct their own future. It’s exciting to be a part of this!”










Gary Seaborne
Superintendent, Taylor County Schools

“Our community has changed as education has changed over the last decade. On the industrial level, we’ve gone from assembly line piecework to the technological revolution. With education, we’ve met the challenge and are meeting the demand for a well-educated workforce.”












Kevin Sheilley
Executive Director, Team Taylor County

“What we call ‘the Campbellsville Comeback’ is less about statistics and numbers than it is the attitude of our people. We could let the tumbleweeds take over or we could pull together and accomplish something. Our wise leadership pulled together – you can see the results.”











Chuck Vaughn
Superintendent, Campbellsville Independent Schools Incoming Chamber President

“We hang our hats on the fact that we have strong schools. We have a healthy learning environment with both county and independent school systems dedicated to continual improvement. The determination of our people here is remarkable. They are determined to succeed.”
