“I am thrilled to be a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada County and North Lake Tahoe,” Beatie said. “It’s such an important organization to the local community — especially considering that we’re the only local agency that serves local boys who need mentors — and I’m looking forward to working with the staff and the entire community to really grow the impact our programs have locally.”

Beatie will work primarily out of the agency’s Nevada City office, but will also travel to the agency’s Truckee-Tahoe office when needed.
