Lonnie Davis Named Board President of Jazz Education Network
JazzArts Charlotte CEO Lonnie Davis takes on the role of president of the board of directors for the leading jazz organization in the world, the Jazz Education Network. The Jazz Education Network (JEN) is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to building the jazz arts community by advancing education, promoting Lonnie Davis performance, and developing new audiences.
Davis has been a member of JEN since 2010 and has served as Board President-Elect for two years in preparation for the role and will be serving a two-year term as President.
“I am honored to be in a position to facilitate more extensive jazz offerings to the Charlotte community and to provide a brighter spotlight for Charlotte’s talent and contributions with a national presence,” said Davis.
Atlantic Coast Conference Moves Headquarters to Charlotte
The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Board of Directors announced it will keep its home in North Carolina and has selected Charlotte as the future site of its headquarters.
The ACC’s 50 employees and headquarters will be located in the Legacy Union complex in Uptown Charlotte, complete with state-of-the-art game day operations and production studios. The organization will invest approximately $5 million into the new space.
“I’m very excited and happy to welcome the Atlantic Coast Conference as Charlotte’s newest resident,” Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said. “Charlotte is one of the best sports towns in the country and a growing destination for sports events, so having the ACC call Charlotte home bolsters our reputation nationally.”
The CLT Alliance played an integral role in retaining this asset in the state, hosting site visits with members of the ACC senior leadership team and facilitating meetings with city and regional partners.
Siloam School Project Meets $1 Million Goal
With a new gift of $500,000 from The Gambrell Foundation, the Charlotte Museum of History has raised $1.2 million to save the historic Siloam School, exceeding its $1 million goal. A Black community that grew around the Siloam Church in northeast Charlotte built the school in the early 1920s to give their children a quality education despite segregation.
“Thanks to this incredibly generous gift from The Gambrell Foundation, the Save Siloam School Project can now move forward with restoring this important piece of Charlotte history,” said Terri L. White, president & CEO of the Charlotte Museum of History, which leads the community-based effort to save the school.
“This project is a testament to what the Charlotte community can do when we stand together to save our history. A special thanks goes out to Silver Star Community Inc., a nonprofit that works tirelessly to save Black historic spaces,” said White. “They were the original force behind the Save Siloam School Project, and without their efforts, the Siloam School may have faded into obscurity.”
As part of the project, the museum will move the historic school building to its eight-acre campus in East Charlotte.
New Virtual Health Clinic Opens at CPCC
A $10 million gift from Bank of America has allowed Atrium Health to bring its Meaningful Medicine program to Central Piedmont Community College with the opening of a community-based virtual clinic. The clinic will provide health care access to our most vulnerable communities and offer a pathway to health care careers for students, providing the opportunity to end the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
“Atrium Health’s belief that care should be ‘for all’ is taking place at CPCC with the opening of this new, community-based virtual clinic,” said Dr. Scott Rissmiller, enterprise executive vice president and chief physician executive for Atrium Health.
With improved access to health care, the clinic will help mitigate disease progression, reduce missed class days due to illness and optimize access to primary care. Utilizing innovative technologies and digital diagnostics, the clinic will offer a variety of services, including evaluation and treatment of common medical concerns: point-ofcare testing and sample collection, such as strep throat andcovid testing.
“It’s our challenge to ensure that every patient in our community has access to convenient, supportive, quality health care,” said Kieth Cockrell, president of Bank of America Charlotte.
