New Memphis Institute

I am currently in their Fellows program and loving every minute of it. Their mission statement is: "Now more than ever, Memphis needs talent. Our businesses need talent to thrive, our government needs talent to solve problems, our schools need talent to educate our youth, our communities need talent to innovate and work for a better future. We are forging a prosperous and vital new Memphis by attracting, developing, activating and retaining talent."I can't agree more. We need to keep amazing talent in Memphis (and bring it here) so we can make this the best city possible. And through their programming, the New Memphis Institute is doing just that. Oh, and the M-Azing Race that they host every year was undoubtedly the most fun I've ever had (anyone in Memphis can sign up...I'm making it an annual thing with my friends).So basically you get networking with the cream of the crop in Memphis, you learn things you would never know about politics, economics, etc., AND you have fun...wonderful non-profit.
