Today's the day!

Join us Monday, August 24 from 4-7 PM for the release of Dave McAuley's "Lead with Focus and Design" — a book about enhancing team performance using frameworks and common language.

Dave doesn't hand you a blueprint for leadership. He gives you the frameworks and shared language every leader needs to create their own — a plan for alignment around your mission and values.

Drop in anytime between 4 and 7 PM. Free to attend, charcuterie provided. Dave will be signing copies (books available for purchase by donation at the event), and you'll get to meet our new Executive Director Todd Walts.

Casual come-and-go format. Bring a friend who leads a team.

Control. Connectivity. Collaboration.

What a morning at Coffee & Connection!

We loved hearing so many of you grab the mic and share a bit about who you are and what you're working on — that's the heart of these gatherings.

Great coffee, great people, and real connections across the nonprofit, business, and faith community.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a great morning. Want to join us next time? Check out what's coming up and grab your spot at the link in the comments.

You're an expert in your field. But it doesn't matter how good you are if your team can't connect their microphone.

72% of people say they've lost time or started late because of technology issues in meetings. And if you're a business owner, that's not just frustrating — it's time and money walking out the door every time a meeting starts with troubleshooting instead of business.

On Friday, August 28, Alan Rutledge from Tele-Optics is leading a Lunch & Learn at Summit Leadership on the three areas where meeting technology breaks down: Control, Connectivity, and Collaboration.

It's not a deep technical dive — it's practical fixes that help your whole team, not just the one person who knows which button to press.

11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Lunch included. $35 to register. Partners: remember you can RSVP for this event for free.

Today is National Nonprofit Day — a day to recognize the organizations, volunteers, and donors who show up for their communities day after day.

At Summit Leadership, we believe better leaders build stronger communities. Through our Exodus 17 program, every gift helps us provide the coaching, connection, and resources that nonprofits in our region rely on to grow their impact. When you give to Exodus 17, you're not just supporting Summit — you're helping us support the nonprofits doing the work on the ground.

To the nonprofits across Northeast Tennessee: thank you. You make this region better.

Better leaders = stronger communities.
