After 13 incredible years at Mount Sequoyah, Executive Director Emily Gentry will be stepping into a new chapter. While it’s hard to imagine the Mountain without her daily presence, we are filled with gratitude for all she has given to this community.
From her early days as Director of Programs to her leadership as Executive Director, Emily helped shape Mount Sequoyah into a welcoming place for connection, creativity, retreat, and belonging for all. Through seasons of growth and change, she carried this mountain forward with vision, care, and deep commitment to Northwest Arkansas.
Emily would be the first to say that none of this happened alone. So much of what Mount Sequoyah has become over the past 13 years was made possible by the incredible staff, board members, volunteers, and community partners who worked alongside her every step of the way.
Thank you, Emily, for your leadership, heart, and dedication to this mountain and the people who gather here. We are cheering you on as you begin this next adventure and wish you nothing but joy and success in the road ahead.❤️
