BNA Talent Group seeking nominations for Nashville INSPIRATIONAL Person of the Year Award

BNA Talent Group presented with Out & About Newspaper would like to introduce Nashville INSPIRATIONAL Person of the Year Award. This first year award is meant to recognize one Nashville-Metro resident from 2012 that inspired you and others in Nashville in a truly meaningful and impactful way.

“It's been a goal of mine to celebrate inspirational individuals since launching my talent agency in Nashville,” Robbins said, owner of BNA Talent Group. “This award gives us the opportunity to recognize and thank the people in our community that provide inspirational moments, actions or the impetus for all of us to become better.”

The 2013 Nashville INSPIRATIONAL Person of the Year award will be recognized during a special segment of the 2013 Nashville GLBT Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Business Awards presented by CURB Records, on April 3 at The Schermerhorn Symphony Center. This award does not require Nashville GLBT Chamber of Commerce membership, nor does it require a specific sexual orientation.

“Although this is not a business award, per se, I felt it was an incredible opportunity to celebrate an inspirational person in Nashville around our business leaders,” Robbins said. “I'd like to see this award being presented every year at different venues and events — maintaining the celebration and recognition.”

The requirements for consideration of the award, after nomination, include:

The third iteration in WhistlePig’s Single Barrel PiggyBack Legends Series, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
