I'm thrilled to be part of The Lex family! As a newer member of the Lexington community, I'm honored to serve on the board and contribute to the exciting future ahead. Here's to growth, connection, and making great things happen—onward and upward!
Jill Nienhiser
Director
Raised in Lexington, Jill wandered off to Chicago for college and then to Washington, DC to work. She came home in 2024 and is eager to put her skills to work for The Lex. She has extensive experience in communication consulting, writing, and instructional design. She also has a background in theater and a history of following indie bands so she's hoping to bring more theater and music to The Lex's schedule!
