Hedy Weinberg, the longtime executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, announced on Friday that she is stepping down at the end of June. Weinberg has led the civil rights organization for nearly four decades, having been named to the post in 1984, according to the Nashville Post. The organization moved its headquarters to Nashville early in Weinberg’s tenure in an effort to focus on state legislation and, under her watch, the staff has grown from two to 12. According to a release from the group, the board of directors will conduct a nationwide search for Weinberg’s successor.
