Q: How has Chamber membership benefited your company?

A: Although we have just begun exploring our Chamber membership, so far it has afforded us the opportunity to network and partner with many astute professionals from various industries. We wholeheartedly believe in the Chamber’s mission of being “…dedicated to facilitating community leadership to create economic prosperity,” and we are eager to do our part to promote it and uplift our community.

Q: How do you hope to impact the region with your business?

A: From the Heart International Educational Services is comprised of school superintendents, school administrators, teachers, researchers, evaluators, accountants, human resources professionals, early childhood specialists, writers and former professional athletes, who all have a passion for creating structural changes in public education. Collectively, we have more than 200 years of professional experience, and most of us are survivors of the same disparaging situations that plague marginalized students attending today’s public schools.

We believe contemporary pre-K through 12 education is in desperate need of a paradigm shift. To help facilitate change, we provide intensive training, technical assistance, program facilitation, and educational management services from a culturally competent context. We seek to develop long-term partnerships with the Chamber, Middle Tennessee school districts, and other community organizations to align our work with their strategic planning and long-range goals. Ultimately, our goal is to be a “change” solution for making pre-K through 12 public education better in the region!
