Become a Partner
As a banker, I look at the numbers — and on child care, they're impossible to ignore. TBFF helped me see this as a business issue. Now we're advocating for smarter policy and exploring solutions for our own team.
Dave Miller
CEO, Apex Bank
On child care policy, TBFF is the expert in the room. They've helped clarify what's at stake and given the business community a focused, organized voice at the Capitol. That's exactly what this issue needed.
Josh Brown
CEO, Tennessee Chamber of Commerce
Supporting working families is about building a workforce that stays and thrives. That's why we invested in paid parental leave, and why we're proud to stand with TBFF as they organize business around these solutions.
Dakasha Winton
SVP, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee
Child care is central to building the workforce every industry in Tennessee needs. We've invested in it at Ballad because the results are real. TBFF makes sure state leaders hear that from the business community.
Todd Norris
Chief Population Health Officer, Ballad Health
On the Tennessee-Virginia line, I've seen what happens when business organizes around child care policy — it works. TBFF is building that same infrastructure here in Tennessee, and it's long overdue.

CEO, Bristol Chamber of Commerce

For forward-thinking Tennessee executives who know workforce competitiveness starts with families.
Why Join the Founders Circle
