Jennifer Rawls

Attorney and Secretary for Boundless

Jennifer Rawls is a mother, friend, writer, and lawyer. She brings the energy of each of these roles to the Boundless Foundation.

With extensive experience in government and communications and over thirty years as a litigation attorney, Jennifer continues her work as the attorney and secretary for Boundless. Throughout her career, her focus has been to elevate women to reach their highest potential and purpose because, as she has said, “if you change a woman’s life, you can change the world.” One way to change a woman’s life is to help her children learn.

While serving as Special Counsel to the Attorney General for the State of Tennessee, Jennifer represented Tennessee and its citizens in charitable solicitations and fundraising cases. She also served on complex multi-state litigation teams and has represented several international companies in consumer and contract cases. She also owns a publishing company and has published several books.

Jennifer’s son was born in Central America and the schools Boundless Foundation has built in that area hold a special place in her heart. She knows the joy of seeing a child’s face when she learns something new and the pride in watching your child graduate from one grade to the next. She was taught to love to read by her parents and, in turn, shared the joys of sharing stories with her son. Knowing that Boundless Foundation allows other parents to do the same for their children is always at the forefront of her work with the Foundation.
