The Brentwood Library Foundation is pleased to announce that its 2014 An Evening at the Library will feature
Keel Hunt.
Mr. Hunt is a native Nashvillian.
He is a graduate of MTSU, the Medill School of Journalism at
Northwestern University, and the Kennedy school of government at Harvard. In his early career, Keel was a reporter,
editorial writer, Washington correspondent, and City Editor of The Tennessean. In 1974, the Tennessee
affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation named Keel their “Conservation
Communicator of the Year” for his investigative journalism in 1972-73 that led
to saving Radnor Lake, now protected by the state’s Natural Areas Program. He left the newspaper to become an advisor to
Lamar Alexander’s campaign for Governor and continued on as a member of the
Governor’s staff. He went on to consult
for a number of years before becoming the staff director of the Nashville Area
Chamber of Commerce and eventually starting his own public affairs consulting
business, The Strategy Group.
The Nashville Scene has
called Keel Hunt the “facilitator’s facilitator.” He is frequently asked to organize
and manage complex projects, planning retreats and community processes. Mr. Hunt writes a regular column called
“Metropolitan” for The Tennessean
editorial pages and is a Trustee of the Country Music Foundation, a member of
the Nashville’s Agenda Steering Committee, and serves on the CABLE Advisory
Council.
An Evening at the Library
will be held April 11, 2014 with cocktail dinner and wine at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Hunt’s program begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $75 and may be obtained online
or by calling 371-0090 x8000.
