Exciting News from the Nashville Tree Conservation Corps

We are thrilled to share some fantastic news! Our extraordinary Executive Director, Ginger Hausser, has accepted a new opportunity as the Southeast Director for Community and Government Relations at Western Governors University. While she transitions out of her role with NTCC, we are delighted that she will remain on our Board of Directors to lead our policy work and continue shaping Nashville’s tree canopy for years to come.

During her time at NTCC, Ginger achieved remarkable milestones. She secured our largest grant to date, significantly elevated our community presence, and forged invaluable partnerships. Her passion and leadership have left an indelible mark, and we are profoundly grateful for her efforts to promote, preserve, protect, and plant Nashville’s trees.

We’re equally excited to announce that Kate Jacks, our Operations Manager, will step into the role of Interim Executive Director. Kate’s dedication to our tree planting projects and her  love for trees have been instrumental in our work. Additionally, Dominique Jara will be joining us as Assistant Operations Manager during the busy season to provide essential support and help us continue growing our impact.

Join us in celebrating Ginger’s outstanding achievements and wishing her continued success in her new role, while warmly welcoming Kate and Dominique to these exciting new chapters with NTCC.

As always, NTCC remains steadfast in our commitment to preserving Nashville’s tree canopy and advancing our mission. If you have questions or would like to connect, please reach out to Kate at kate@treeconservationcorps.org.

Here’s to an exciting and green future ahead!
