We held our first meeting in our new headquarters at 617 Hart Lane in Nashville today. It was a good discussion of statewide outreach and policy for about three hours. We welcomed new board members James McKissic, who is chair of our Hamilton/Bradley Counties committee, and Kim Council, who is chair of our Rutherford County committee.
It also happened to be our first meeting of the new board year. The new year promises to bring advances in municipal nondiscrimination policies, a better network to bring about change in the handling of hate crimes in Tennessee, and a push for positive legislation in the General Assembly.
