Sarah O’Brien Email & Phone Number

Communities belong to the people who take pride in creating them. Sarah is a community engagement champion who has been influencing downtown revitalization for over two decades. Her effortless event planning expertise, natural ability to inspire action, and her people first planning philosophy is evident across the close-knit rural neighborhoods and complex urban districts for which she has served. Successfully uniting diverse groups and cultivating coalitions has propelled her reputation as a destination expert and community catalyst. Her contagious passion and creativity for placemaking is felt from behind the Dias and along Main Streets. She has an uncanny and undeniable understanding of the human experience that shines when speaking from across the ballroom (and zoom room) or just a few steps away when walking past a new neighbor’s front porch.
