Meet Our Leadership Team
Guiding Our Work Across East Tennessee

Legal Aid of East Tennessee’s leadership team helps guide our mission and oversees the work we do across 26 counties. They help make sure our services stay focused on the people who need them.

With many years of experience serving East Tennessee, our leaders support our attorneys, staff, and volunteers as they help people with civil legal problems. They also work with partners, funders, and community groups to keep our services available to those who qualify. Their work helps strengthen our programs, direct our outreach, and ensure that our limited resources are used where they are needed most.
