Paige Manges

Marketing & Communications Manager

After ten+ years in the agency world, Paige hung up her Commercial Production hat to find an outdoors-focused organization that would align with her core values, beliefs, and passion for environmental causes. Her goal has always been to use her creativity, connections, and collaborative energy to raise awareness around important causes and initiatives she believes in.

For many years Paige served as a Girl Scouts Troop 6000 Leader, connecting with girls of all ages who were experiencing homelessness or transitional housing.  Every Saturday, she gained an invaluable appreciation for the hard work needed within the nonprofit sector and found a passion for deep connection through committed relationships. This contributed to the launch of her passion project, “Work, Wages and the Future of Nashville”, an event that attracted over 400+ attendees to participate in a conversation involving Nashville’s top leaders and activists. In 2020, she co-launched the Nashville Living Wage with several close colleagues, which has now grown to highlight over 25+ businesses.

Outside of work, Paige is mostly found in the garden, the kitchen, or lost in the trees. Central Conservation’s mission aligns with Paige’s vision to blend her professional experience and passions.
