In this capacity, Bevin was responsible for supporting economic development adopted by the Teton County Economic Development Plan, which aims to support existing local businesses, start-ups and prospective businesses resulting in job creation, higher wages, commitment to sustainability and conservation. Bevin also managed the Idaho Tourism Commerce (ITC) grant, Teton Valley's largest state funding source, which provides funding for local nonprofit events. Additionally, she handled the marketing and management of The Geo Center and its educational programs, while identifying and securing additional grant funding and sponsorships for TREC, the Chamber of Commerce and The Geo. A resident of Driggs, Bevin relocated to Teton Valley from the Washington, DC area. There she was Regional Director of Hope for the Warriors ®, a national nonprofit serving wounded service members and their families. In that role, she lobbied for fiscal support and the long-term needs of injured service members and their families. Bevin also managed various major fundraising initiatives including the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), and organized the inaugural Got Heart, Give Hope ® gala, now in its 14th year. She actively sought to bring greater credibility and national visibility to the former grassroots organization, by earning the “Best in America” designation by the Independent Charities of America, as well as accreditation by the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance. Bevin earned her BA in Business Administration from the University of North Florida and her MBA in International Business from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. Prior to her involvement with TREC, Taylor worked in various capacities for the Teton School District 401 and the private education sector. Taylor lives with her husband and two daughters in Driggs and enjoys all of the outdoor activities and natural landscapes that Teton Valley offers. They can often be found in Teton Canyon, hiking with their overzealous golden retriever.
