With a passion for theater and an English degree, Jim Kennedy followed his brother to Chattanooga in 1974 to work at the Baylor School. He had no idea that decision would lead him to be a part of organizations like Miller Reid Advertising, River City Company, the Chattanooga Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Chamber of Commerce. 

In this episode, we discuss how Jim had a seat at the table for many major developments such as the Aquarium and Chattanooga Venture’s Vision 2000. 

After leaving the Chamber as CEO in 2001, he started his own consulting firm along with Ann Coulter, Christian Rushing, and Stroud Watson. Ultimately, his career has come full circle and Jim retired from the Baylor School as Director of Admission and Enrollment. You can connect with him here.
