The annual community-wide partner competition sold out, attracting 120 athletes and nearly 100 spectators with donations benefiting Youth Villages of Middle Tennessee.
Youth Villages today announced John Norris as its new General Counsel and managing director of the organization’s legal department.
Congrats to CrossPoint for winning the Civic Group Volunteer Award at this year’s Mary Catherine Strobel Awards hosted by Hands On Nashville.
