Elizabeth Batson Tetrick

Elizabeth Tetrick grew up in Greeneville and graduated from Greeneville High School, where she balanced academic honors with numerous leadership roles.  The daughter of Don and Lynn Batson, Elizabeth went on to earn her degree in English from Emory University in Atlanta.  While at Emory, she revitalized the Circle K Club at the Oxford College campus, serving as its president, and was active in student government and volunteer Emory.  During her time with SGA, she helped lead an SGA initiative focused on advancing environmental sustainability on campus.

Elizabeth now lives in Johnson City with her husband and two children.  A dedicated stay-at-home mom, she remains deeply involved in her community – from nonprofits to the PTA.  She currently serves as President of the Board of Directors for Holston Habitat for Humanity, where she also contributes to several key committees.  Elizabeth is a past president and sustainer of the Junior League of Johnson City and a former member of the Rotary Club of Johnson City, where she was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow.

In her previous nonprofit work, Elizabeth was honored nationally as the 2018 Resource Development Professional of the Year by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America – an award that speaks to her passion and skill in community engagement and fundraising.

    The Niswonger Foundation was established in 2001 to make a positive and sustainable difference in education in Northeast Tennessee. This dream was envisioned by Scott M. Niswonger, who founded Landair Transport, Inc. and Forward Air Corporation. These companies were the first two Greeneville-based companies to be taken public in the history of Greene County, Tennessee. Jointly, the companies have combined annual revenue of over one-billion-dollars and employ more than 5000 people.
