Chamber breakfast slated for Nov.30
Heather Mays - Thu, Nov, 18, 2010
Farragut West Knox Chamber is inviting Chamber members, as well as anyone in the community, to learn more about education in Tennessee, its process and its growth.
The Chamber is hosting The University of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek for its last breakfast speaker series of the year, at 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 30.
“We’re excited to have him because of all of our concerns about education in Tennessee and wanting to make it better. We’re anxious to hear what he has to say about UT’s plans for this year and for down the road,” Chamber president and CEO Bettye Sisco said.
“He’s been working in education all his life, so therefore is extremely dedicated to its cause and its growth.
“I understand he’s really a great speaker — entertaining and enjoyable,” she added.
Cheek is UT’s seventh chancellor and has been serving at various universities for most of his career. He was the first member of his family to attend college.
Sisco said this speaker breakfast was an excellent chance for community activists to learn more about education and its impact on economic growth.
“We all talk about what’s going on with education, and here’s our opportunity to learn more about it so we can do something about it,” Sisco said.
Tickets are $25 for members or $30 for non-members. Deadline to purchase a ticket is Friday, Nov. 19. www.farragutchamber.org
