Senate Resolution 290, sponsored by Oliver, honors the opening of Forward Creative Commons at Bordeaux, a new community space in North Nashville that promotes learning, art, connection, and wellness. This initiative is a collaboration between FiftyForward Bordeaux and Creative Girls Rock, two nonprofit organizations dedicated to empowering individuals through various programs. FiftyForward focuses on enhancing the lives of adults aged fifty and older, while Creative Girls Rock aims to educate and empower young girls and women through creative expression.
The resolution recognizes the leadership of Sallie Hussey, CEO of FiftyForward, and Charmin Bates, CEO of Creative Girls Rock, for their commitment to service and equity in the community. Forward Creative Commons is celebrated not only as a physical space but also as a symbol of collaboration and investment in the future of local neighborhoods. The resolution concludes by commending the partnership between the two organizations and the impact they have on the people of Tennessee.
