GOAL Collective Networking Luncheon
About this Event
Join the GOAL Collective for an afternoon of connection, collaboration, and conversation focused on expanding opportunities for adult learners across Middle Tennessee.
The GOAL Collective (Growing Opportunities for Adult Learners) brings together education, nonprofit, workforce, and community partners committed to helping more adults access education, training, credentials, and career opportunities. Belmont Fast Forward is proud to serve as the backbone organization for this collaborative effort.
At our Fall Networking Luncheon, we’ll share updates from across the GOAL Collective, including a look at our strategic planning process and the work ahead. We’ll also hear from featured speakers, including Dr. James McIntyre, Dean of the College of Education and Assistant Provost for Academic Excellence at Belmont University; Stephanie Coleman, President and CEO of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce; adult learners; and community partners.
Just as importantly, the luncheon is an opportunity to connect with others working throughout Middle Tennessee to support adult learners and strengthen pathways to education and employment. Whether you have been involved with GOAL from the beginning or are just learning about the Collective, we hope you’ll join us to build relationships, exchange ideas, and help shape what comes next.
Doors open at 11:30 a.m., with lunch and the program from noon–2:00 p.m.
