We are thrilled to announce that Amber Hamilton, a visionary leader with over 25 years of experience in leadership strategies and nonprofit management, will be our keynote speaker at the upcoming Tennessee Nonprofit Conference!
Amber’s extensive career is marked by significant contributions to prominent organizations. She began her journey at the NFL Players Association, Fannie Mae’s Office of Community Giving, and Rebuilding Together Inc., where she held the vital role of vice president, overseeing 165 local affiliates. Her deep understanding of the nonprofit landscape is further evidenced by her service as Interim CEO of the Soulsville Foundation in Memphis and, most recently, as President and CEO of the Memphis Music Initiative. She has also appeared on the first season of I Was Told There Would Be Snacks: A Nonprofit Podcast from Tennessee Nonprofit Network (formerly Momentum Nonprofit Partners).
Today, Amber continues to empower leaders and organizations through her new endeavor, Amber Says The Things, where she facilitates impactful conversations and provides expert coaching. Her impressive academic background includes a B.A. in political science from Howard University, a master’s degree in executive leadership from Georgetown University, and a certification in executive coaching, also from Georgetown.
Amber’s dynamic presence and profound insights recently captivated audiences as the keynote speaker at Peak Grantmaking’s annual convening, where she “brought the house down!” We are incredibly excited for her to share her expertise and inspire attendees at our conference.
