Around 120 Nashville delegates departed for Salt Lake City this weekend for the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Leadership Study Mission. Two mayoral candidates and a Tennessean columnist are among them.
The stated aim of the trip is to glean wisdom from the SLC about topics from transit to affordable housing. Here is a list of the corporate executives, developers, flacks and others on the trip (although the chamber tells Pith that this might not be the final list, as there were some last minute alterations). The list includes mayoral candidates David Fox and Jeremy Kane, vice mayoral candidate David Briley, and of course, Mayor Karl Dean. It's not just politicians and corporate suits, though — Renata Soto, of Conexión Américas, and Stephanie Teatro, of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, are also on the list of delegates.
The chamber tells Pith that all of the mayoral candidates were invited and says that each delegate pays their own way.
