OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

CURRENT CLASS

Knoxville is a great city. I would like to Knoxville to continue to be a thriving city that serves as a model to other cities across the country. Knoxville is a city that is rich in culture that should continue to showcase its arts, technology, and lifestyle.

Knoxville has so many "bests" it is hard to limit to one. Knoxville's public spaces are first-class. Whether it is a bike road, trip down the lake, walk on the greenway, tennis match, ball game, historical walk to go back in time, or simply relaxing in a swing by the river. Knoxville has something for everyone.

I think communication is key to strengthening the Knoxville Community. Communication builds understanding and encourages different perspectives. Honest and open communication can create a sense of belonging and stronger communities.

My favorite memory of Knoxville is the 1982 World's Fair. Both of my parents worked at the Fair. I would often go with them on weekends and while they were working, spend the day learning about different people and places of the world.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

Listen" - my father was a very quiet person. His advice to me was always listen.

You don't know it all. Take time to get know people.
