Family Business Month

“Living Generously: Developing a Stewardship Mindset” presented by Andy Lamon, CEO of Lamon Jewelers

Join us for the official kick-off to our 14th Annual Celebration of Family Business on Thursday, October 3, at Chesapeake’s! We are honored to have Andy Lamon, CEO of Lamon Jewelers, Inc., as our special guest speaker.

They have two locations in Knoxville and Maryville, the newest location in Turkey Creek being the largest jewelry store in Knoxville.

What if real and lasting joy had less to do with what you achieve or gather and more to do with what you give to others? On October 3rd, Andy Lamon will talk about living generously and developing a stewardship mindset in the context of your family-owned or entrepreneurial business. Come join us and imagine the transforming generational impact you can make on your life, business, and community by developing an others-oriented lifestyle of leadership.
