| The light returns to professional chapter, IISE Nashville (TN)
'Tis the season to celebrate the reactivation of professional chapter #73, Nashville (TN). The chapter's calendar sparkles with upcoming events in 2020 which include the 2020 Kick Off Nashville Chapter Member Meeting on February 6 and a Jeopardy Social with Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in April.
The future looks luminous for the chapter as its vision is to build a chapter in Greater Nashville in which all ISEs in the area will want to be actively involved. Working hard to make the chapter shine bright will be the chapter officers, all of whom played an integral part in the chapter's reactivation.
Welcome back, Nashville!
