our board members
It's important to know who has a hand in offering you services. Here's a look at our board members.
Tia Hughes
Tia Hughes is a person in long term recovery. She is one of the Founders of Bridge to Shore Recovery and serves as the Executive Director. She also works for Carter County Drug Prevention to educate youth on the dangers associated with substance use. In her free time she enjoys watching her beautiful teenage daughter's compassion for dance grow and spending time with her fiance and their dog "Tippy".
Tracey Stacy
My name is Tracey Stacy and I have been in recovery since 2013. I am currently in graduate school, work as a case manager and substance abuse counselor, and am married with two children. All blessings that I give God all the glory for!
Women’s housing is very special to my heart because I see the struggle that so many women go through when being released from incarceration or discharged from treatment with no where to go. Being able to provide safe and sober housing to women in this area to foster and encourage healing, continued abstinence, and freedom is so needed for our community—and I am thankful to be a small part of the Bridge to Shore organization to help works towards and accomplish just that.

Megan Bussell
My name is Megan and I am a nurse and am in recovery from addiction since 2016. I am passionate about housing as a basic human right as well as contributing to the support of women in the recovery community. Bridge to Shore's mission of creating a safe and loving space for women to grow into themselves is inspiring to me, and I am humbled to have been asked to be a part of this board.

When Brittny isn’t working or studying, you can find her spending time with her partner, 10 year old son and their pets, Raisin and Nate.

I am currently attending ETSU working towards a Bachelor's degree with a concentration in Criminal Justice and Social Work, in hopes to use my experience, strength and hope in and throughout the justice system. To be given the chance to give back and offer hope to the women and men in this area is such a great honor. I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for resources like this. I'm overjoyed to be apart of the Bridge to Shore Board.
