Adrienne Hymes
I earned my B.A. in Rhetoric and Communications Studies from the University of Virginia which led to a corporate career in public relations and marketing for 13 years in Washington, DC and Los Angeles. Trained in client relationship development, project/budget management, strategic planning, event planning and media relations, my competencies and skills uniquely equipped me to serve as the diocesan Missioner for Church Extension in the Diocese of Southwest FL. In this role, I restored the physical plant and defunct campus ministry as resident chaplain and director of the Episcopal Chapel Center at the University of South FL while planting a new faith community in the town of Wesley Chapel. The faith community, of which I am the first vicar, is now a vibrant, growing mission church. If elected, I will enthusiastically contribute to, and learn from, the ministry of the JNCPB, as the committee answers God's call in shaping the life of the Episcopal Church now and into the future.
