Donations: Family Promise
- The Employee and Organizational Development team has strived to find new ways to give back to the local community. EOD has made a goal to partner with a local charity to support with the generous help from our conference guests. For NEXT 2024, we have partnered with Family Promise Knoxville, a local family housing service for unsheltered families in Knoxville. We will be accepting donations throughout the conference, looking for donation items listed here. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to making a difference with you.
