The 2023 Convention was held in Knoxville on April 20-21. KAMA as the host alliance did an amazing job with all aspects of the planning and preparations. I truly appreciate the work by my fellow KAMA members on the planning committee, without whom the meeting could not have been so successful. And, the Knoxville Academy of Medicine graciously allowed us the use of their state-of-the-art conference room for the business meeting, for which we are truly grateful. Thank you, KAM and KAMA!
Jacqueline Nguyen, Esq., AMAA President 2022-2023, and Racheal Kunesh, AMAA President-Elect 2022-2023, were our special guests for the event. We were honored to have Jacqueline speak to attendees about the AMAA and conduct the installation of TMAA officers for 2023-2024. The meeting featured two additional guest speakers. Juliann Chavez, Ph.D., R.D., L.D.N., spoke about women’s nutrition, supplements and aging gracefully. Andria Yates, Ph.D., gave a presentation about personal leadership development and individual leadership styles in a non-profit setting.
The evening prior to the business meeting, TMAA hosted a Welcome Reception & Dinner at the beautifully renovated event space at The Orangery, catered by Bistro By the Tracks. A “Raise the Paddle” was held to benefit the TMAA Philanthropic Fund which raised just over $4,400 to be used to fund TMAA Health Grants across the state. On behalf of the TMAA Philanthropic Board, thank you to everyone who supported this cause.
