Nancy Whidby

< Back to Leadership Team

Accounting Clerk

Nancy Whidby started with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee as a volunteer in 1974. In those earlier years,  we were known as the Boys Club.
 
In 1976 Nancy was hired as a permanent part time worker. Nancy developed both the ceramics department as well as the baseball concessions program, which netted $10,000 during its first year alone.

 

In 1980, Nancy was hired as a full-time employee of the Boys Club. As she tells is, "I did everything but run the locker room and the swimming pool."  (That's because back then the boys swam in the buff) This statement is easy to believe as she tells her stories of how she cooked for each of the board meetings, developed the Club newsletter,  helped start the girls program, advised the Keystone and Torch Clubs as well as the Smart Girls program, tutored members, set-up the administrative offices in the house that is now the location of the Thompson Lane Teen Center, managed the building of the Thompson Lane playground and pavilion, and reorganized the membership system.

 

At one point she was asked to become the Unit Director of one our newly opened Clubs. She declined the offer in order to continue to work closely with all of the kids throughout the Clubs system.   She did, however, fill-in as Interim-Director of our largest club, Thompson Lane, while we were between full-time Directors.

 

Over the past two years, Nancy has been working as our Accounting Clerk in the administrative office.  Though she really misses seeing her kids every day, she said that she will do anything that she can for the Boys & Girls Clubs, even if that takes her out of the Clubs.
