Ann Marie Sorrell

Supervisor, PBC Soil & Water Conservation District

A Servant Leader Who Puts Community First

“I believe in putting the needs of people first and helping them become the best possible versions of themselves. People should not work to serve leaders, but we as leaders, should always work to serve people, which is why I put my Community First.”
– Ann Marie Sorrell
