Sharon Brawner and Connor Raymer have been named to the board of The Bowling Green Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Brawner has served as president and CEO of the National Corvette Museum since 2021. During her tenure, her impact has been felt across the organization and the community, including the opening of “Custom CARisma: The Legendary Creation of Carl Casper” exhibit and the debut of the McMichael Family Education Gallery.

Before joining the museum, Brawner spent two decades at the Country Music Hall of Fame and has served on numerous tangential boards, such as the Tennessee Tourism Committee. Early in her career, Brawner served years in the hotel and hospitality fields within the areas of sales, marketing and corporate partnerships at the Opryland Hotel, Loews Anatole Hotel and the Galt House Hotel, among others.

Raymer joins the board as a Bowling Green native and a graduate of Greenwood High School and Western Kentucky University. He arms the board as a real estate expert with more than a decade of experience serving southcentral Kentucky in areas of property management, buying, selling and property investment.

Both members will officially join the ranks of the existing board, which includes Leon Volkert, Mike Hughes, Byron Palmiter, Seth McClain and Michelle Gorman, on July 1.
