Farewell to Jennifer Schwartzenberg
 
Those of you who have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Schwartzenberg, CFMT's Community Initiatives Director, know what an asset she has been to The Community Foundation and to our Middle Tennessee nonprofits and arts communities. Jennifer and her family recently relocated to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to be closer to family and pursue some exciting new opportunities. She will be sorely missed. Best of luck, Jennifer!
