We are excited to welcome the 2026 TNSAE Board of Directors. Introduced at last week’s Annual Meeting, this outstanding group of leaders brings a shared commitment to elevating and connecting our association community across Tennessee. Their leadership will help foster meaningful connections, support our members, and move our mission forward in the year ahead.
We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our outgoing board members—Ben Prom, Andrea Hayes, CAE, and Edithann Buckles Wadewitz, CAE. Their leadership, generosity, and dedication have left a lasting mark on TNSAE, and we are deeply thankful for the time, care, and passion they have given to our community.
Please join us in celebrating and thanking both our outgoing and incoming board members. We look forward to the year ahead and all we will accomplish together.
