Camille Burdine announces her candidacy for Lebanon City Council Ward 3. As a development professional, community leader and resident of Ward 3, Camille has built a reputation as a woman of action and feels now is the right time to serve her district and the community.

Camille will pay close attention to the city’s budget and future growth plans. She will keep the diverse nature of Ward 3 – its industry, historic districts, retail areas, residential neighborhoods, educational institutions and public buildings – in mind when making decisions which allow Lebanon to move forward while still retaining its small town charm.

Camille’s time and energy has been dedicated to the local community by serving on the board of the Wilson County Help Center, the Economic Development Committee of the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce and as an officer on the Lebanon Historic Preservation Commission.

She has served her church, Lebanon First Methodist, in the youth program and is passionate about youth sports. Camille served as an assistant coach for Lebanon Youth Baseball and was the 2016 vice chair of the Lebanon High School Baseball Booster Club. She also served as Castle Heights Elementary School PTO President for two years.

Camille is a graduate of Leadership Wilson and has served on its board for three years and currently serves as board chairman. She is also a graduate of Leadership Middle Tennessee. Both of these programs developed her skills with community relations and accessing real solutions to community issues.

Camille started her professional work in the financial industry. In 2007, she became a development officer and was successful in raising several million dollars annually. In 2016, she began work as a director of community relations and engagement. Camille now works as a business development officer in the mortgage industry.

Camille attended Tennessee Tech University and graduated from East Tennessee State University. She was raised in a family that believed in community involvement and she has continued that tradition.

Camille’s vision for Ward 3 is a balanced approach providing for the citizens as well as anticipating future growth for the city. Ward 3 is the heart of the city: a diverse district encompassing not only residential neighborhoods but industrial parks, our historic public square, educational institutions and public buildings.

Camille believes top issues in Ward 3 are improving youth engagement and opportunities for all residents of Ward 3. She believes attention to beautification, proper zoning and codes enforcement as well as the fiscal health of Lebanon are key to fostering economic growth and community well-being.

She is willing to listen to her constituents’ concerns about their district and welcomes ideas and comments. Please visit www.camilleburdinew3.com or facebook.com/camilleburdineforward3 for more information and ways to support Camille’s campaign.
