Testimonials

NEXUS has been an outstanding experience for me. It has allowed me to meet other ambitious, sophisticated, thriving young pros in the Memphis area. This opportunity with nexus has placed me in front of respected, firmly established, business men and women from various industries on a monthly basis. I've met CEO, VP's, and Senior Pastors, to name a few. I must say, had it not been for NEXUS it would have been really hard for me to get face-time with these people on a consistent basis.

NEXUS has facilitated and exemplified one of the best things about living in this city, which is the willingness of the community to help each other grow personally and professionally. It never ceases to amaze me how open and welcoming the leaders in the community are towards the emerging professionals. My time with all of you reinforced my devotion to this city and I will always be very grateful to the organization, the speakers, and of course my Mentor.

I really enjoyed the NEXUS expierence and hope to stay involved as an alum, as well as continue the relationship with my mentor. It’s exciting to see and hear so many of us that are passionate about making positive changes in our city and community. Richard Collins, Client Services Advisor, Metropolitan Bank & NEXUS Class of 2015

As a native Memphian, when I came back home from college, I was looking for a program that would help me plug back into Memphis. Over the last year, Nexus has given me that opportunity. NEXUS is a great program which allows young professionals, who are passionate about this city, to learn from current leaders the skills needed to guide Memphis to a bright and promising future. Jack Steffner, Associate, Newmark Grubb Memphis, NEXUS Protege, Class of 2015

I heard someone say, “Inspiration without Instruction is Useless”. NEXUS has given me inspiration. INSPIRATION through the leaders that have come every month to share their wisdom. INSTRUCTION, by giving me the best mentor a person can have. Rodney A. Johnson, NEXUS Protege, Family Advocate Counselor, University of Tennessee AND Director of Love Builder/ Neighborhood Christian Center, Inc.

NEXUS is an amazing opportunity! It allows you to build a meaningful relationship with your protégé and help their continued growth, give back to the community, hear insightful speakers, and network with others in the area you may have never met. I went into this experience excited about being a mentor and playing a role in another’s development. However, NEXUS has also provided me the opportunity to learn and grow as a leader.
