Sandy Jones Boussard

Sandy Jones Boussard is proud to live, work and serve in the Bowling Green community since graduating from Franklin-Simpson High School in 1969. From raising her son, to starting a temporary help service business in 1977, to serving local government as a city commissioner and then as mayor from 2000-2004, she has watched her community and Western Kentucky University rise to what is fast becoming a major economic and statistical force within Kentucky and beyond.

As CEO of Quality Personnel, Sandy took her company from infancy to 6 offices across south central Kentucky. After 38 years, she successfully transitioned it to new ownership in 2014. Not one to sit around for too long, Sandy conceived and opened “Live Active 50 Plus Fitness Center” in 2015. “Live Active” specializes in serving the fitness needs of citizens over 50 years of age. “Rock Steady Boxing to Fight Parkinson’s” has become “Live Active’s” newest addition in 2016.

Over the years she received several business awards including 1997 Athena Award and 1999 Chamber of Commerce Volunteer of the Year. Her proudest service centers around leadership for her church and public service for Bowling Green including downtown master planning and the early days of the Kentucky Transpark.

Mrs. Boussard is not only a career woman, but also a friend and donor to Western Kentucky University. She is a member of the Cherry Society, the Cupola Society and the Society of 1906 and serves on the Student Life Foundation Board of Directors. The Sandy Jones Boussard Reach Higher Scholarship Fund, established in 1999 provides assistance to deserving students of the Bowling Green Housing Authority Programs, who are pursuing a degree at WKU. A later version also serves students at KCTCS. Sandy’s husband, Tom Boussard is an avid WKU fan and probably BG’s biggest cheerleader for WKU and Bowling Green!
