Treasurer
Meredith Shrader and her husband of 17 years, Daniel, have lived in Greeneville since 2011. Meredith is a Physician Assistant turned homeschool mom and she and Daniel currently own and operate a local event venue, Greenwood Oaks.

Lily is now entering 9th grade and they have two other children, Hosea (5th grade) and Janessa (Kindergarten). When Daniel and Meredith are not working at the venue and homeschooling they love reading, spending time outdoors and on their farm, and gardening. They have both taught various science and geography courses at Heritage through their years as members and Meredith has helped with formal planning and previously served as the Volunteer Coordinator for Heritage.
