Based in Nashville, Tennessee, the Tennessee State Employees Association is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the interests and rights of state government workers who are members. It is one of the largest independent state employee associations in the United States, bringing together active and retired employees from all branches of state government to pursue better working conditions and improved state services. The association is governed by a 19-member board elected by the membership and operates through 47 chapters across Tennessee, with annual initiatives set at the Representative Assembly. Through its political action committee, TEAM, the association endorses gubernatorial and legislative candidates and provides support to those who address employee concerns. It serves as a voice for state employees on Capitol Hill, with lobbying activities and an employee rights staff that offer guidance and representation for job-related issues and grievances. A notable recent development is participation in the 51st Annual Representative Assembly in September 2025.
