• A unique connection for YP Nashville leaders

  May 05, 2011

  On Wednesday, May 4, Nashville's young professional leaders gathered at Cabana to hear from Mark Reuss, GM's vice president and president of North America, about his leadership journey at GM. The audience, which included presidents of the 40 young professional organizations that are partnered with YP Nashville and previous winners of the Nashville Emerging Leader Awards, also had the opportunity to address individual questions, such as Reuss's advice to emerging leaders, details about the GM company, and the engagement of YPs within GM.

  Attendees were able to test-drive exciting new models of Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet; many thanks to Chamber members Andrews Cadillac, Beaman Automotive and Freeland Chevrolet for providing the vehicles.

  It was an honor to be able to connect the next generation of leaders in Nashville to outstanding leaders like Mark Reuss and his GM team!
