What an incredible day for Anderson!

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. James Dixon, PhD, Dr. Alveda King, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Kelly Cardenas, Darren Dunn, and Anderson High School Principal Alan Landes for investing their time, experience, and wisdom into our community.

What made today so special was that there was no script. The conversation was organic, thoughtful, honest, and incredibly informative.

Together, they shared insight drawn from decades of collective experience about how we can improve the quality of life in our
community, reach our young people, and help raise a generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

They didn't simply come all the way to Anderson from all over the nation to speak to us. They came to listen, engage, share, and invest in our people. They stayed after the event ended to give everyone as much time as we needed to ask questions, share concerns and to simply fellowship with each other.

We are incredibly grateful for the time they gave us and for the testimonies, ideas, inspiration, and perspective they brought to Anderson today. This is what happens when people come together with a genuine desire to bring change.

Anderson is full of opportunity and talent. We will grow as we better tap into our potential!
