The Campbell County Public Library appointed Richard J. C. Hoskin to its board of trustees earlier this month.
Originally from Liskeard, a town in Cornwall, England, Hoskin moved to Cold Spring from Cincinnati over 30 years ago, where he’s remained since. A published author, marketing executive, entrepreneur, and more, Hoskin brings his experience and insight to his role on the board.
Hoskin studied modern history at the Queen’s College, University of Oxford, from 1951 to 1954 and received a master of arts degree. Now retired, Hoskin’s career began as a journalist. Later, he worked at Procter & Gamble as a marketing executive, a move that eventually transferred him to the U.S. The end of his career focused on board-level consulting in business development and strategic planning.
After retiring, Hoskin remained involved in the greater community, especially in supporting education and youth programs. His work locally helped support the opening of the Campbell County Library Alexandria Branch in 2018. He has also served as a Campbell County Planning and Zoning Commissioner.
Hoskin joins four other board members: Tracy A. Smith, president; Jessica Schweitzer, vice president; Jonathan S. Cullick, treasurer; and Kelly Raleigh, trustee.
