“More than a decade ago, I had the privilege of being a member of a core group of civic-minded leaders that helped to shape the vision for an entrepreneur center. Now, I’m honored to serve as board chair alongside many talented members. The NEC plays a critical role as a leading Nashville nonprofit in supporting new entrepreneurs in their journey to innovate and grow their business.”
