2022 Choice Summit Recap

A little under a month ago, on Wednesday, April 6, we hosted the Third Annual Choice Summit. We are still feeling the impact of linking arm-in-arm with over 70 attendees and speakers to support busy working women with their personal and professional growth. 

We still cannot believe this was our Fourth Choice Summit, as three years ago, Founder and CEO Heather Adams and the entire Choice team dreamed of hosting an affordable and worthwhile event. This event was designed to allow a space for women to be allies, not competitors and build a community who linked arms to share best practices, lessons learned, recent wins and biggest challenges - to assemble thought leaders and industry experts who could make us stronger TOGETHER.

We began the 2022 Choice Summit with the Summit Stroll the Tuesday evening prior to the Summit. We invited attendees to join us as we strolled through downtown Franklin, TN, with our first stop at EverEve for a spring fashion trends presentation and shopping, followed by a happy hour at Onyx & Alabaster in downtown Franklin, TN. 

The following day we began with the Choice Summit at the Graystone Quarry in Franklin, TN. These are the key takeaways from each of our speakers. 

Alison Lumbatis

  • “You deserve to dress the body you have right now!” 

Mattie James

  • “There is no one here with a story that is not worth sharing.” 

Megan Tamte 

  • “Know your customer. You cannot be everything for everyone, so it’s really important that you know who you are serving well.” 

Tyler Merritt - Thank you to Tyler for being our emcee for the 2022 Choice Summit!

  • “Experiencing each other’s stories, getting closer to each other, and having that proximity may not be the entire cure but could be a huge piece of curing racism.” 

Heather Adams

  • “Distinguish yourself from your competition, identify and attract your ideal clients, be a consumer and pitch intentionally.”

Danielle Bayard Jackson

  • “Because female friendship is so much more than going to brunch. It is literally out here saving our lives.” 

Julianne Taylor

  • “You determine your value. Period.”
