HC*EXCELL Board of Directors

Jana Terry

Ms. Terry serves as the secretary for HC*EXCELL. She describes her duties outside of HC*EXCELL as: domestic engineer, household CEO and director of child development, kid taxi driver and her kids’ loudest fan. As an attorney at the Terry Law Firm, before going on maternity leave 17 years ago, Ms. Terry worked closely with members of the Hamblen County community. She also volunteers as the children’s director for her church, Trinity United Methodist Church. 

Because Ms. Terry has two children in the public school system, she believes strongly in the role HC*EXCELL plays in the community. She wants to see her kids and their peers challenged in the best learning environments. Her family also owns a small business, so she knows first-hand how important it is for us to see our community prosper with a strong, reliable workforce. She believes this kind of success starts in school. 

In addition to the natural beauty of the Hamblen County area, Ms. Terry most appreciates that the people here are kind and helpful to their neighbors.
