It was standing room only on 8/28/19 at the YLC Impact Luncheon presented by PNC Bank focusing on collective impact with Samantha Wigand with Center for Nonprofit Management moderating a panel discussion with Corinne Bergeron (YLC/Jackson National Class 2014) with Frist Foundation, and Rebecca Carter with United Way of Metropolitan Nashville. More than 70 YLC alumni, fall class participants and community and business leaders enjoyed box lunches and learning about this collaborative approach to creating change. Thanks to Chelsea Peterson with PNC for sponsoring this event and United Way for hosting. #PNChostsYLC

It’s always a treat when we find out one of our YLC alumni has been featured on television. Here’s an inspiring story that aired on June 21 on NewsChannel 5 about James Crumlin (Class 41), an attorney at Bone McAllester Norton PLLC who has been leading the “Capitol Steps Workout” on Monday and Thursday evenings for the past seven years. Find out what motivated this former YLC board chair to start running up and down the steps and, if you’re up for the challenge, how you can join the fitness group that focuses on positivity and encouragement (and lunges and planks, too)! He was also featured on WSMV News 4 on May 30.
