A CITY UNEXPECTED

Lindsay Bowley

35yrs.

Lindsay Bowley manages short-term and long-term recruitment strategies for the Cherokee County School District as the coordinator of recruitment. She is dedicated to promoting the district as a premier place to work and recruiting high-quality teacher candidates. Her passion for the school district has earned her various leadership awards, including the Cherokee County Teacher of the Year and the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement’s Innovative Teaching Competition Winner.

Community service has remained part of Lindsay’s life through every season, whether leading small groups or traveling abroad to assist establishing a school for underprivileged children. In addition to being a mom to a toddler and newborn twins, Lindsay has continued to grow in her leadership as an active class member of Leadership Cherokee in 2021.

Lindsay’s goals include increasing diverse talent in our district to match the growth in the minority student population. She continually looks for better ways to engage with future educators from top universities. In her own words, “I thoroughly enjoy taking on a new challenge and piloting changes to better serve our district’s mission and vision.”

Lindsay believes her next job doesn’t yet exist, because of the way the district continues to grow and bring new opportunities. Her greatest goal is to continue improving the education of Cherokee County students.

Robert Capovilla

36yrs.

Robert Capovilla, attorney and partner at Capovilla & Williams, set a goal to be a leader in the Cherokee County community both personally and professionally, and he’s well on his way.

Prior to cofounding Capovilla & Williams in Woodstock, Robert served five years as a trial attorney in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. There he handled some of the most complex military trials in the country as both a prosecutor and defense attorney and gained an in-depth understanding of how the legal system has extraordinary implications for individuals and their families. Today representing active military service members is still an important part of his law firm’s mission, but Robert and his partner have dedicated themselves to helping local families find a way forward after suffering a serious injury or the preventable loss of a loved one.

Outside of his law practice, Robert donates considerable time and resources to helping local veterans and is active in both the Cherokee County American Legion and Cherokee County Veterans of Foreign Wars. His law firm was also recently named the Mountain Road Elementary School Corporate Partner of the Year for its commitment to the students and families in that community.
