Join the Nashville Junior Chamber on November 8th for the 3rd Annual Pitch Nashville in an open discussion about how you would solve the community's problems surrounding education.

We are looking for presenters that want to vocalize their ideas on how to address the issue of education. Each presenter will be given 8 minutes to pitch their idea on how to turn around the education system in Nashville before a panel of judges with a winner being announced at the end of the night. We look forward to making an impact together in this city!

Join the Nashville Junior Chamber as they help out at the Special Olympics Flag Football tournament. Teams will play three games each, and they'll need referees, cheerleaders, and other forms of help throughout the event.

Head on out to the Networking and Philanthropy Committees' yearly Back to School Campaign for school supplies with our Pencil Partner, Kirkpatrick Elementary located in East Nashville. This year, khaki bottoms in children's sizes — pants, skirts, and shorts — are the main need. If everyone can bring one or two pairs, we will have a major impact on these children's lives! Other school supplies like pencils, notebooks, and loose leaf paper are also accepted. The event is happening at The Ranch — Jackalope Brewery's newest location in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. The space houses a production brewery, taproom, and private event space where we will be located.

Are you always interested in the inner workings of major legal cases? Then join the Nashville Junior Chamber as we host a Q&A session between Aubrey Harwell of Neal & Harwell, PLC and professor Jim Burton of the Middle Tennessee State University Accounting department. During the presentation you'll hear insights on high-profile legal cases over their lifetime from the Watergate trial (where his late partner and mentor James Neal was a prosecutor) to the FBI investigation of Pilot/Flying J and everything in between. There's very little Mr. Harwell hasn't seen.

Mr. Harwell is a graduate of Vanderbilt University Law School in 1970 and co-founded Neal & Harwell PLC in 1971. He has received numerous awards including Nashvillian of the Year, SEABOTA Trial Lawyer of the Year, and the Nashville Bar Foundation with the David Rutherford Award.

Come on out to the Nashville Humane Association's 2018 Dog Day Festival in Centennial Park. With food trucks, prizes, live music, and more, what's not to like?

This is Nashville's longest running dog festival, and all proceeds go to benefit the Nashville Humane Association.

Join us for another engaging installment of our CEO Roundtable series!

This month we will be hearing from Joshua Stalets, Founder and CEO of Be Better Advertising.

In entrepreneurship, Joshua believes the absolute hardest part is continuing on in the face of adversity. Coming up with a company idea is fun, setting everything up, getting your product ready, winning your initial sales - that stuff is exciting! It's when the tough daily grind comes along that Josh sees so many entrepreneurs give up on their dreams. Josh feels if you discover exactly "why" you started your company in the first place, you'll have the power to continue on when things get extremely hard.

Come discover your "why" on August 30th!

Laura is the director of the Nashville Humane Association. Growing up in Ohio, Laura has devoted her life to animals, working every role from kennel tech all the way up to Director of the NHA. Before arriving at Nashville Humane Association, Laura has served at the Lee County Domestic Animal Service and the Director of the Williamson County Animal Control. Laura has said that she has a "true passion for animals and aims to provide a high quality of customer service to the public while improving animal welfare."

The Nashville Junior Chamber is thrilled to be partnering with the Nashville Humane Association for the 2018 - 2019 fiscal year. The NHA is one of the oldest service organizations in Nashville, having been incorporated in 1946 and with roots going back to 1887. Through numerous projects and campaigns they have admirably served their mission of finding responsible homes, controlling pet overpopulation, and promoting the humane treatment of animals. We are looking forward to helping them achieve this goal this coming year.
