So Can I
The So Can I podcast is a place that inspires, motivates, and encourages women to step out in faith, follow the dreams that have always been on their hearts, and have a little fun while doing it. Each week, Lauren will talk with different women who do the unexpected and think outside of the box. We cover it all: the good, the bad, the beginning, the how, the why, and most importantly, the journey. You will leave each episode thinking, “If she can do it, So Can I."

Today I am joined by Morgan Vance! Morgan now serves as the Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation after spending several years in a strategic role overseeing advancement operations, partnerships and programs. With over 10 years of professional experience, Vance is entrusted with protecting and advancing the mission of legendary women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Her strategic oversight has led to a growth in grantmaking, programs, and partnerships, as well as major gifts and estate gifts.
Prior to her time at the Pat Summitt Foundation, Morgan was a development director at the Tennessee Fund, the development office for the University of Tennessee athletics, and was responsible for soliciting annual and major gifts. Before her time in athletics, she worked as a development director at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center overseeing Children’s Miracle Network corporate partners and fundraising campaigns.
Morgan is a Knoxville native and received her master’s in business administration from the University of Tennessee, Martin and her bachelor’s in public relations from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Morgan and her husband Jason reside in west Knoxville with their 5 children.
In this episode Morgan and I talk about her career in the nonprofit space, how she ended up at the Pat Summitt Foundation, what stewarding a legacy means, and so much more!
