By John Gomperts, President and CEO, America’s Promise Alliance
Most people who visit Nashville bring home Grand Ole Opry t-shirts or busts of Andrew Jackson. What my colleagues carried back from Tennessee last December was not as much fun – but it was a lot more important for making young people college- and career-ready.
