Sarah Gentry
Director of Special Events
Sarah joined the HBA in May 2021 with 15 years of experience in hotel sales and catering. Her favorite Association event is the Parade of Homes. "I remember when I was too young to drive I would ask my dad to take me to look at the houses each year. He would only take me if I mapped out where to go and directed him. It helped me learn my way around town before I even started driving! I have loved the Parade of Homes ever since and now I get to a part of it from the ground up!”
Contact Sarah for the Home & Garden Show, Appetite for Construction, Parade of Homes, Evening of Giving, Home Remodeling Showcase, Installation Gala, and other special events.
