Interesting conversation facilitated by Denise LaGrange last week regarding Nashville’s Choose How You Move initiative. Shelly Hazle , VP of Regional Policy for Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce was onsite to give context and depth to the discussion. (Thank you! I learned so much from you!) Deborah Story , I love meeting past YW board members! Always great stories attached to these meetings. Stay tuned! I, for one, am eager to hear more about how the city is changing and how we, as citizens, can weigh in! #choosehowyoumove #nashvillechamber #transit #nashville #communitydiscussion

When you mix insightful stories about Music City with a room full of passionate people, magic happened at the Intro Nashville Alumni Reception joining the current class. Not only did we hear captivating stories about Nashville from incredible storytellers, but we also had the opportunity to make valuable connections with fellow Nashville enthusiasts. Former Mayor Bill Purcell and Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Ralph Schultz shared fascinating insights into Nashville's rich history and its promising future. Their perspectives on our city's growth and development were truly inspiring. Networking with such passionate individuals reaffirms why programs like Intro Nashville are vital for fostering community engagement and understanding. I'm grateful to be part of a network that celebrates our city's journey and looks forward to its continued success. #intronash #networking #nashville
