Testimonials

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 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

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.

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 Comprises Next Generation of Millennium Leaders – It’s been an awesome experience! Being new to Memphis, NEXUS opened my eyes to the great opportunities that this great city possesses. Having the chance to learn from key leaders throughout the Greater Memphis Area has given me hope that I too, can make a difference in the lives of individuals that live here. Dexter McKinney, NEXUS Protégé, Class of 2016 & System Community Outreach Specialist at BAPTIST MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE

“I didn’t exactly know what to expect from the NEXUS experience, but having been through it, It has been an experience of a lifetime. The speakers were fantastic, but more importantly, it was an honor to get to speak into the life of a younger person going through the journey of balancing work, marriage, and all that life throws at you. It’s a great way to give back to the next generation of leaders here in Memphis.”
