2025 Forum on Growth and Challenges

This year’s forum was a great success thanks to our speakers, event partners, sponsors, and attendees! David Plazas returned as event moderator, and Michael Skipper, executive director of GNRC, gave an overview of growth in Middle Tennessee. Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Nashville Metropolitan Airport Authority, delivered the keynote address, followed by a panel of mayors across the region. Mayors Paige Brown of Gallatin, Randall Hutto of Wilson County, and Chaz Molder of Columbia discussed the effects of growth on livability in Middle Tennessee.
