Chris Ahearn has been selected as Our Towns’ new chief executive officer, said Board President Scott Lagueux. Ahearn joins Our Towns after more than 17 years of service with Lowe’s Companies, Inc., last serving in the role of vice president of public affairs.

 

Prior to her time with Lowe’s, Ahearn served as director of corporate communications and public affairs with Food Lion, Inc.

“While Chris’ resume is extensive, it is perhaps her decades of volunteer work with Habitat, her church and other philanthropic groups that speaks volumes about what fulfills and aligns with her greater purpose,” said Lagueux. “I know she will bring great energy and enthusiasm to her new role at Our Towns.”
