My name is Renee Martin. I have lived in the Liberty-Eylau Community for 40 years. My husband of 27 years is an LE alumnus. We raised two daughters in this community; they are now living and raising their children here. I served on a local Campus Quality Improvement Council for 2018-2020. I am the district manager at Tri-State Fasteners, where I have been employed for 28 years. I am a worship leader and serve several churches in our city. I feel leadership is a call to serve and foster the greatness that resides in every individual, all while creating an atmosphere of teamwork in which every voice works in unity. I support the family unit and parental involvement, and I firmly believe educating and strengthening the next generation is a necessity.
