Paul Nawlin - Founder and Director

My name is Paul Nawlin.  I am founder and director of Character Education Now Inc.  It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to “developing our youth for leadership tomorrow”. I have been involved in and around education for over 30 years.  In the past I have been a teacher, principal and school administrator and now I find myself focusing on character education for our public and private schools.

I have been married for more than 35 years to my beautiful wife and best friend. We have three grown children and 13 grandchildren. As an educator I have recognized that our youth are sadly lacking the character, morals and values that were once a standard for success.  It is my desire to make a difference in the lives of our youth through the four core programs of Character Education Now Inc.  With your help we can make a difference.

Brenda Jones - Executive Secretary

My husband, Ed, and I have lived in Steinhatchee, FL for over 20 years and love this area of the Florida Nature Coast.  I am originally from Louisville, KY, and always enjoy visits back to the “Bluegrass State”.  I became involved with Character Education Now through the Adopt-a-Grade/Staff program and am now the Executive Secretary for CEN.  I am excited to have the opportunity to help in developing good character in our school’s students.
