East Nashvillian of the Year Award 2011

The Historic East Nashville Merchants Association announces the winners of this year’s East Nashvillian of the Year Awards.  This is the 4th year of an annual award highlighting people and businesses who exemplify the best of all the positive aspects of life in East Nashville. There is one winner in each of two categories. The first is for a business or business owner that in 2011 portrayed the best of what East Nashville has to offer. The second award is for a private citizen who best symbolizes what being a good East Nashville neighbor means.   

“East Nashville is full of great people,” said Tom Hadley, president of Historic East Nashville Merchants Association, “We wanted to acknowledge a couple of people who really stood out this year in making East Nashville a great place to live.”

Winners will receive a $200 prize and the recognition at the first HENMA Board meeting of 2012.   The Historic East Nashville Merchants Association is a business collective formed in 2003 to foster a cooperative spirit between businesses located in Historic Nashville’s East Bank Business District. Its member businesses work in concert with government and neighborhood associations to improve the welfare, commerce and quality of life in East Nashville.
