The annual Society of Entrepreneurs Gala was a celebration of the inspiration, dedication, and can-do spirit that has made the Memphis area a hotbed of innovation for decades. The packed room contained well-known heads of companies and newly minted startup leaders, all sharing the drive to implement a vision. The new inductees to the Society that were honored were Chris Brubaker, Stacy McCall, and the Grinders – Justin, Brett, and Fred. The honor of Master Entrepreneur was bestowed this year on Bob McEniry, former chairman of nexAir. Along with the toasts and accolades, guests were treated to a sumptuous meal by Karen Carrier and music by the Gerry Finney Band. soememphis.com
