Jenn Chernut, Executive Officer
Jenn is the current Executive Officer for TCRA, a role she began in April 2024. She loves connecting with members, helping them make the most of TCRA’s three levels of membership benefits, and having a great conversation along the way.
With over 20 years of experience in the world of non-profits and government agencies, Jenn is an award-winning communications pro who knows how to get things done. She’s worn many hats, including Director of Communication and Member Engagement at the Tacoma-Pierce County Association of REALTORS®, Director of Strategic Engagement at the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, and Government Affairs at the National Swimming Pool Foundation.
A proud Sun Devil , Jenn holds a Master's Degree in Communications from Arizona State University, and dual Bachelor's Degrees in Communications and Political Science from the University of Colorado. She’s also a distinguished graduate of both the Western Association of Chamber Executives' (WACE) Academy for Emerging Executives and the Tacoma-Pierce County Leadership Academy.
When Jenn isn’t working, you can find her working in her garden, at an Earth, Wind & Fire concert with her daughter Jamie Rose, or on a nature walk with her rescue dogs Maisie Moo, Noodle D. Poodle, and Seven (a stray who she recently rescued from a 7-11). She’s also known to enjoy a good dress-up session, binge-watch The Golden Girls and RuPaul's Drag Race with her BFF Stephen, or have a blast with her friends—whether it’s karaoke, barbecuing, dancing, or watching football. Life’s too short not to have fun!
