Get to know TCCY Executive Director Richard Kennedy
The first guest to sit down with Newland was TCCY Executive Director Richard Kennedy. He has served as executive director for the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth for nearly one year. However, his history with the agency is long standing. Jonquil Newland sits down with Kennedy to discuss his history with the agency as well as life milestones that lead him to the top spot at TCCY.
