The seminar features a panel of experts from every angle—legal, law enforcement, technology, and insurance—to give business leaders a full picture of why cyber security is important, and how they can achieve it. The event will take place at Pinnacle Financial Partners’ 1717 Mallory Lane location in Cool Springs (Brentwood) from 11:30 to 1pm. A complimentary lunch is included, but registration is required.

This month, Sean Wright, Affinity’s President and Founder is speaking at two cyber security events that are open to the public. On March 6th, Sean will speak at a SCORE Network event titled “Cyber Security for Small Business: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” held at the Pathway Women’s Business Center. And on March 15th, Sean will join a panel of experts for an seminar titled “Real-World Cyber Security” at Pinnacle Financial Partners’ Brentwood office. Information and registration for both events can be found below.

Part of Affinity's vision is "to benefit our community and the greater world through philanthropic partnerships and servant leadership." For us, that means rolling up our sleeves and helping in our community.

This holiday season, we did that by spending a morning volunteering at ThriftSmart, a nonprofit thrift store whose proceeds support worthy charities in our community and around the world. We spent our time sorting donations, organizing clothes on racks, and moving furniture.

As you consider where to give your donations today, we'd encourage you to think about donating to some of our nonprofit friends, who we know are doing good work in our community and around the world. Click below to learn more about them!

We're proud to announce that Affinity's Kevin Foster will be running in this weekend's St. Jude Memphis Marathon! Kevin has been hard at work training for the race -- and for a good cause!

We're thrilled to announce our sponsorship of "The Bike Thing," an annual bike ride fundraiser for our friends at Daystar Counseling Ministries, a nonprofit organization providing counseling to kids and their families in the Middle Tennessee Area. Daystar provides these services on a sliding scale, allowing them to help kids in need.

Sean and Betsy Wright were recently featured on Pathway Lending's Gig to Biz: Entrepreneur Experience page! Check out this short video of them telling the story of how they turned their passion into Affinity Technology Partners!
