His strong leadership, caring demeanor and can-do attitude was a joy to work with in a challenging industry." and "Aside from being a phenomenal Director of Alumni Leadership at Teach For America - Greater Nashville, Brian is a highly-intelligent, humble, and compassionate community leader. I first met Brian when I moved to Nashville a couple years ago. From that inception, he was ceaseless in helping me get settled and adjusted to my new home. He connected me with potential job opportunities, assisted me in finding social circles, and offered unwavering professional support by reviewing my resume, cover letters, and outreach efforts to employers. Calling him my mentor would be an understatement, and in a congruent fashion to the industry that he's chosen to dedicate his life to, Brian has been a teacher to me. He's also a genuine warrior for educational equity, and his strength to step into crucial leadership roles during pressing moments (see Interim Executive Director of TFA Nashville, as an example) is a testament to his fortitude, resolve, and drive. Brian Gilson is a valuable asset to any organization, project, or initiative, and I highly recommend him as such."
