Dr. Reginald Smith has spent his career building bridges between people, communities, and opportunity.
In this episode, Dr. Smith shares how watching his father build a nonprofit alongside a successful career planted a seed early, why he chose UTC over Howard University despite his family's deep HBCU roots, and what it felt like being handed the keys to a 95-year-old organization at 29 years old.
Dr. Reginald Smith is the President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga. You can connect with him on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/reginaldsmithphd/).
