This was the 15th year of Leadership Bluegrass, which now boasts over 350 alumni.
Leadership Bluegrass 2014 was hosted at BMI, and Bone McAllester Norton PLLC in Nashville, Tennessee March 21 through 22. Trisha Tubbs was the facilitator. Each year participants are selected through a selective application process and are a cross section of current and future leaders from various aspects of the industry, and come from various regions of the U.S. and the world.
