A graduate of Samford and Vanderbilt universities, Crowe joined the BJC staff in 2009 as associate director of communications after nearly a decade producing television news for a local affiliate in Nashville, Tenn. As senior producer for the station’s cable channel, she covered elections, political debates, trials and other special projects. Crowe was nominated for the Rising Star award at the 2007 Midsouth Emmys.
“Cherilyn is the ideal choice for this important post, carrying forward Jeff Huett’s good work,” said BJC executive director Brent Walker. “Her media experience, passion for religious liberty and winsome personality render her uniquely suited for this central position at the Baptist Joint Committee.”
Crowe said the work of the BJC “is as vital today as any time in history.”
“I look forward to sharing the importance of religious liberty in a variety of ways and connecting others to our essential mission,” she said.
