With College GameDay in Nashville this weekend, we’re remembering a favorite CEO Retreat moment from 2019! That year, GameDay was in Memphis while we were in town for our retreat — and our group took a break from our session to make signs and join in on the GameDay weekend fun! What a great memory and reminder that our CEO Retreats are just as much about connection, laughter, and shared experiences as they are about learning and leadership. Wishing everyone a fun football weekend ahead! 🏈

What an incredible couple of days at the 2025 TNSAE CEO Retreat in beautiful Kingsport!

This annual program is always such a valuable opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, connect with fellow association CEOs, share best practices, explore new ideas, and support one another as leaders.

A huge thank you to our facilitator, Mike Pennington with Novi AMS, for guiding us through thoughtful conversations and meaningful dialogue.

We are so grateful to Visit Kingsport, MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center and Mayor Paul Montgomery for the warm welcome and outstanding hospitality. The property, the city, and the setting made this retreat truly special — be sure to connect with Lara Potter with Visit Kingsport and Ashley Bishop with Meadowview as you consider locations for your next convention or meeting!
