In April 2019, Lee Curtis, Asst. Director for Programs and Patricia Gray, Asst. Director for Administration began their services to TCWPA. What was once a single part-time Asst. Director position, Lee and Patricia have divided the responsibilities, creating two positions. After long careers with the TN Department of Tourist Development Lee and Patricia bring experience and knowledge of historic sites and interpretation including their extensive role in implementing the statewide Civil War Trails program. In introducing the new asst. directors, President Hodges remarked, “TCWPA is very fortunate to have Patricia and Lee on the team with their experience, talent, and commitment to battlefield preservation.”
