May 4, 2023 | Trish Gordon
Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison welcomed Dwayne Tucker to the firm to present a program on education equality. An influential Nashvillian and successful businessman, Tucker is now the CEO of LEAD Public Schools, the largest network of charter schools in Nashville. LEAD serves over 2800 students at six campuses.
Sponsored by the firm’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC), attendees enjoyed learning about Tucker’s unique career path and how he became involved with LEAD Public Schools. A passionate advocate for education, he has said, “Equality in education should not be about what part of town you live in . . . All children, regardless of where they live or their socio-economic status, should have the opportunity to receive a high-quality education.”
Sherrard Roe actively fosters DEI within our organization, community, and the legal profession. The DEIC’s mission is to recommend and implement strategic initiatives and programs to cultivate a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and just environment where all individuals can succeed professionally and personally.
