cityCURRENT Women in Business & Philanthropy Luncheon

THIS LUNCH LOCATION IS NOW AT AMERIGO'S West End

This luncheon brings together 2 of cityCURRENT's Strategic Focuses:

• Strategic Corporate Philanthropy
• Community Collaboration - The diverse group of women will serve as a brain trust and aid in information sharing which will, in turn, help cityCURRENT serve Middle TN.

For convenience, the lunches are set up as Dutch treat.

Our featured woman focased nonprofit for this lunch will be AWAKE Tennessee. You will hear from Kelli Nowers, Executive Director, to share with us how AWAKE has been advocating for the advancement of women and children in Tennessee. To date AWAKE has successfully researched, drafted and guided nine bills focused upon the advancement of women and children to passage; launched a state-wide educational campaign on child abuse prevention; developed a truancy intervention program; and designed curriculum that helps middle and high school students learn about healthy relationships and financial independence. Through each of our collaborative efforts, we are guided by the conviction that women and kids in Tennessee deserve to feel safe, lead healthy lives, and have equal access to opportunity.
