Crissy Haslam

Crissy first learned of Tennessee Kids Belong as First Lady and encouraged and promoted their work across the state. Now out of office, she is proud to come on the Board of TKB and hopes to have even more time to devote to this worthwhile organization. As First Lady of Tennessee from 2011-2019, Crissy advocated for parent engagement in education and reading proficiency across the state. She supported the Imagination Library and traveled to promote issues such as 3rd grade literacy attainment and Adverse Childhood Experiences and eventually foster care and adoption. Crissy and Bill have 3 married children and 8 grandchildren and live in Knoxville, Tennessee.
