Meet Leadership Live 2026 Co-Chair, Luke Cummings! 📣

Professionally, Luke serves as Senior Commercial Transactions Manager with the Genecov Group, but in his free time, he serves with organizations like The Children’s Park and Leadership Tyler. Luke is a proud graduate of our Core Program - Class 38.

Of the many motivators to invest in Tyler’s future and well-being, Luke says his very fun, active 2-year-old is the biggest! "Getting to invest back into Tyler is such a privelege. The longer I live here, I see more and more how imperative it is to partner together and take care for our community," he says.

We’re so grateful for Luke’s involvement and dedication to serve as a Co-Chair for Leadership Live this year! Help us thank him! 👏

Meet our first Leadership Live 2026 Co-Chair, Kristen Brice! 📣

By day, Kristen is the Regional Director of Outreach and Engagement with Ardent Health, but in her free time, she is an avid volunteer for many nonprofits in our community.

She’s also a proud graduate of our Core Program - Class 36, and she currently serves on our Board of Directors. Kristen says the opportunity to lead with purpose while planting roots in the community inspired her to get involved with LT. “This organization’s commitment to serving others aligns with my passion for making a lasting, local impact through strong, community-centered leadership,” she says.

We’re so grateful for Kristen’s commitment and willingness to serve as a Co-Chair for Leadership Live this year! Help us thank her! 👏
