November 8, 2022, was Election Day, but for Sonja Saylor it was her Graduation Day for East Tennessee Regional Leadership Association. Graduation was held at Hunter Valley Farm in Knoxville, and Ms. Saylor was one of the key planners of the event. She worked with representatives from Knox County and Cocke County to acquire the speaker, design and send the invitations, set the program, and organize a silent auction.

November 9 was graduation day for the East Tennessee Regional Leadership Association Class of 2020-2021 at Hunter Valley Farms in West Knoxville.
The keynote speaker was Art Bohanan, who is known for his work with the UT Body Farm, the World Trade Center and the Knoxville Police Department as a forensic specialist.
Union County was well represented by Robbie and Gail Corum, who are known for their business, Corum Bookkeeping, as well as their community involvement with Leadership Union County and Union County Business & Professional Association.

Robbie and Gail Corum welcomed the 16 counties of East Tennessee Regional Leadership Association (ETRLA) to Union County recently for Agriculture Day.
Presentations and tours included Tater Valley Nursery and Century Farm, Mayor Jason Bailey, UCHS Career & Technical Education, Union County Farmers Market, Union County Soil Conservation, and UT Extension Union County.
