Sage Award:
Call for nominations
The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the 20/20 Leadership Alliance have developed the Sage Award to honor
one of Nashville's top leaders who has made a significant impact on Nashville's YP demographic. Sage Award candidates are no longer among the YP
demographic (40 years of age or older), but are community leaders who show a great deal of respect to YPs and have had a significant impact on the
professional development of Nashville's YPs and YP organizations.
All Sage Award candidates must have a nomination form submitted on their
behalf in order to be considered. The NELA Steering Committee will determine a winner based on these nominations. To download the application and
learn more, please visit www.thenelas.com.
