http://m.knoxnews.com/news/2009/Jun/15/bandit-lites-ceo-thinks/ “Bandit Lites CEO thinks Knoxville can play a starring role”…the article focuses on how Knoxville can attract new business in any industry, but it also connects the idea and strength of the entertainment industry as well…
This will be a “members only” working meeting. We are needing your input as to what you think our region needs to maintain, support and grow our industry here in Knoxville. The State Board has been meeting with legislators expressing concerns for the future of production in the state and we need your insight to continue that work. Please attend this important meeting and share your thoughts with us. The time for action is NOW!!
Of course if you are reading this and you are not a member in good standing, you can join by going to the website at www.affttennessee.org or you can join at the door for $25, but you must be a member to attend. Get connected with the production community. Let your voice be heard and join the fight to protect our industry in Tennessee.
PLEASE NOTE THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO MARCH 11 DUE TO THE SNOW!!!
