Birdie, by the Partners in Progress organization, on the recent hire of its new executive director, Natalie Hawkins.
Hawkins is ending her post this week as Pinehurstâs assistant village manager and walking a few blocks south to her new office, where she is replacing longtime director Pat Corso.
Hawkins is an outstanding choice for a number of reasons, not the least of which is her longtime experience in Moore County and dealing with a multitude of issues and constituencies. Pinehurst can be a tough place to serve, seeing as there is no lack of retirees willing to tell you how to do your job.
