Join us at the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame^® and Museum. We have a fun morning planned with keynote speaker, Jimmy Yeary, singer, songwritter and storyteller! The event will be held in the Event Hall, with soaring, 40-foot glass windows and a breathtaking view overlooking downtown. Souvenir photos will be taken before and after breakfast in the foyer of the Event Hall. Museum vouchers will be provided for self-guided tours following the event.

Jimmy Yeary is the rarest of speakers because his content is filled with instantly recognizable moments. For well over a decade, he has influenced millions of people--how they think and what they think about--on a daily basis. Jimmy Yeary is not only a highly sought-after speaker, but he is also a hugely successful songwriter, and his music is all around you.

Jimmy Yeary was writing songs long before becoming the lead singer of the Grammy Award winning supergroup SHENANDOAH. These were years that saw Jimmy performing #1 hits like "Mama Knows", "Somewhere In the Vicinity of the Heart", and "Sunday in the South".

Today, in Nashville and Los Angeles, one of the most common calls in the music industry is from an artist's representative to Sony Publishing requesting availability on songs from Jimmy Yeary's catalogue of music.

Jimmy has written more than two-thousand songs, many of which have been featured on albums selling millions of copies--Grammy winners, gold and platinum awards among them. Nine of Jimmy's songs have been certified "Number 1" hits as singles by Billboard Magazine.

Recently, both the CMA and ACM awarded Jimmy Yeary with "Song of the Year" for "I Drive Your Truck"--the inspiring song he wrote about the father of a fallen soldier and how he continues to remember his son. Jimmy's most recent Number 1 was "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", a song he wrote for Kenny Chesney and David Lee Murphy.

He has also been called "one of the most engaging speakers in the country". Jimmy takes the lessons he has learned and the experiences he has encountered in his music career and applies them to the process of creating results for businesses, organizations, and teams.

Facilitating growth while creating and maintaining significant relationships has become Jimmy's trademark as a communicator. Emotional awareness, a greater understanding of other people, and the shared experiences that build an effective team herald the genius of Jimmy Yeary. Not only can he speak to who we are as an organization, he will put it to music!

After a day of sightseeing and networking, close out this year's Annual Meeting at one of Nashville's newest bars. Fresh off winning Female Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards on May 16th, Lainey Wilson opened her Bell Bottoms Up Bar on May 31st in the former location of FGL House. Join us on the 4th floor rooftop for dinner and live music featuring the Krystal Steel Band.

A grab and go style breakfast will be available in the Hotel Lobby. Be sure to pick up a quick bite before you head out. Safe travels home!
