My family and I arrived in Tennessee in July 1994. I didn’t know a soul for 400 miles in any direction. I started Priority Management of East Tennessee in September 1994. I was honored to serve on the Chamber’s Board of Directors between July 1996 and June 1999. I owe a lot to the Chamber, its leadership and its members for their help in getting my business up and running. With their assistance, I was able to grow the company from zero to more than 5,000 clients (from Johnson City to Chattanooga and everywhere in between) by the time I sold it in early 2006. I wish the Chamber and all its current members continued success over the next 25 years and beyond. Jim O'Brien, past Chamber Board Member
"Shortly after moving here from Mobile, Alabama, I heard about the Farragut Fall 5K and was very excited to learn that the race scheduled for September 23, 2000, would be held at Bob Leonard Park, within a mile of my home. I registered for that run and participated in subsequent ones through the one held on September 27, 2008. Over the years it became one of my favorite races. I think the race grew over the years because it was always well organized and it had a great course I liked the challenge of running the hills in the subdivision and then ending up in the park to the cheers of those who finished ahead of me and those who came out to support all runners. The sponsors were so generous with refreshments. Under a big tent were tables loaded with fruit, donuts, bagels, cookies, orange juice, water, etc. It was a welcome sight to see after a very exhausting run. Most importantly, I enjoyed the fellowship of other runners. The awards ceremony was very exciting. Everyone was happy for those who placed in the race and showed it by the applause for each person, whether first-, second- or third-place winner. I enjoyed getting to know the people involved with the sponsors. In the beginning it was Edward Jones who sponsored the race. Through that sponsorship, I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Wendy Schopp and Barbara Slaven. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Bettye Sisco and her associates through the sponsorship of the West Knoxville Chamber of Commerce. I will always cherish their encouragement and friendship. Now I just rejoice in the memory of those wonderful days when I was able to run and participate in races, especially the Farragut 5K. I hope the race continues to grow and be successful in the future. I encourage everyone who is able to get into running and participate in the races. The experience and that great feeling of well-being will be everlasting." Faye Eisenacher, a happy former Farragut 5K runner
