TBA President Tasha Blakney has sent an email to members informing them that TBA Executive Director Joycelyn Stevenson will be resigning from her position and returning to private practice as office managing shareholder of Littler’s Nashville office. Blakney wrote, “I know I speak for the Board of Governors, the staff, and the entire TBA membership when I say that Joycelyn has been the very director we needed at the time we needed her most.” Below is the complete message:

Dear Tennessee Bar Association Members,

I am writing to inform you that we have received notice that Joycelyn Stevenson will be resigning from her position as Executive Director and will return to private practice as the Office Managing Shareholder of Littler’s Nashville office.

I know I speak for the Board of Governors, the staff, and the entire TBA membership when I say that Joycelyn has been the very director we needed at the time we needed her most. During her five-year tenure, she ushered us through dynamic and unprecedented times — from the reinvigoration of staff and member engagement, to the navigation of a global pandemic, to the sale of our building, and so much more.

While I regret that she will be leaving us, I am very grateful for the time she has invested in our organization and for the chance to serve as president during her tenure.

The TBA will begin the selection process for a new Executive Director immediately and will send an appropriate notice with more information soon. Joycelyn has committed to continuing to provide guidance and assistance along the way. We are sincerely appreciative of her service and wish her the very best.

Tasha C. Blakney, President
