Congratulations to the NEXUS Class of 2026! It was an honor to celebrate the Mentors and Proteges at Graduation on May 7 at International Paper. The Mentor and Protégé graduates were celebrated for their accomplishments and dedication over the past ten months. Thank you to Memphis Mayor Paul Young for sharing celebratory remarks.
On behalf of the NEXUS Board of Directors, it was a privilege to honor NEXUS Mentor Levernese Mell with the 2026 Kem Wilson NEXUS Leadership Award that is awarded each year to someone that leads like Kem. This award is given at Graduation an individual who has unwavering commitment to the NEXUS program and mission and is fully engaged with fellow members of the Class of 2026. Congratulations Levernese on this deserving award!
Special thanks to the Board members, Program Committee members, and volunteers for their leadership and our corporate partners for continuing to fuel our mission! Sincere gratitude to International Paper and The Marston Group for making the evening a success!
