Behind every successful meeting, conference, training event, certification, and day-to-day operation of the Association is someone making sure everything stays together — and for TARS, that person is Shannon.
From coordinating meetings and managing the state office to organizing schedules, handling the constant demands of the Association, and somehow keeping everyone moving in the same direction, Shannon plays a vital role in every aspect of TARS operations. Her leadership, dedication, and commitment help ensure that rescue squads across Tennessee continue to receive the support and organization they depend on.
Shannon also holds a special place in the history of the Association as the first female Executive Director of the Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads — a milestone that reflects both her leadership and the respect she has earned throughout the rescue community.
Those who know Shannon know she wears many hats every single day — planner, organizer, coordinator, problem solver, encourager, leader, and above all else, a mom. Even while balancing the demands of family and the nonstop responsibilities of running a statewide association, she continues to serve TARS with professionalism, heart, and dedication.
The work she does may not always be visible to everyone, but the impact is felt across the entire state.
Thank you, Shannon, for your tireless dedication to TARS, its member squads, and the rescue service across Tennessee.
