Every five years the Partnership Lead Cabinet, which consists of the Gold and Platinum level investors, convene to set the strategy for the new plan. This group, along with an advisory committee of practitioners, identify the challenges and opportunities in the region. The group creates a strategic framework for the Chamber and the community to tackle those challenges and capitalize on the opportunities. Normally a six-month process, the interruption of the pandemic created an 18-month process to ensure the plan made sense for the changes in the region.

As a leader and visionary in one of Nashville’s most well-known and important industries, Sarah Trahern, CEO of the Country Music Association, participated in this planning process for the current five-year Partnership 2030 strategy. During the planning process, as a member of the P2030 Lead Investor Cabinet, Sarah had the opportunity to play an integral part in developing the P2030 plan, which addresses challenges and opportunities for the future of the region.

“A community gets stronger by working together and being able to honestly say ‘This is a great place to live but how do we make it a better place to live for the next generation?’ Partnership 2030 gave me the opportunity to be at the table, developing a plan for the future, together.”
