Our Mission
We support the people who move East Tennessee communities forward through education, collaboration, and connection. We bring together the doers, helpers, and service-minded leaders creating positive change and building stronger communities.
Core Values
Dynamic Learning
We commit to organizational learning and energizing experiences—workshops that spark curiosity, build confidence, and drive meaningful community action.
Collaboration
We model openness and shared leadership by collaborating internally and fostering spaces where leaders connect and grow through collective wisdom.
Positive Changes
We commit to pursuing growth that matters in our own work and decision‑making. We encourage and support leaders who are creating lasting, community‑shaping impact.
Meet The Team
President: Jamie Bate
Secretary: Robert McClelland
Treasurer: Regina Jennings
We focus on the doers, the helpers, and the service‑minded individuals who create momentum within our community — not just leaders in a formal sense. We create workshops that people enjoy, use, and carry back into their daily work, offering learning that sparks collaboration and change. And we treat connection as essential to our mission, building the ties that hold a community together rather than treating networking as a bonus.
