About Bill Beith

Bill Beith was a long-time City of Franklin employee who was beloved for his work with the area children, his tireless support of Franklin’s festivals, and his passion for the Franklin community.

Employed for eight years as the physical director at the Franklin YMCA, he volunteered for the City of Franklin from 1975 to 1978 at which time he became the recreation director for the city.

In 1989, he took over the position of code enforcement and zoning officer for the City of Franklin, retiring from that position in March 2006.

Beith then worked with Beith Associates.

His love of Franklin showed throughout his accomplishments such as developing with his wife, Ronnie, the Franklin Fine Arts Council and numerous festivals and events.

In addition to his many other accomplishments, Beith was awarded the “Artist of the Year” in 1990 for his work developing the arts in the region.
