A Message from the Chairman growth, development and opportunities for young black males in Middle Tennessee.

Because of you and your support, we can continue to stay the course, doing all that we can to empower youth.

This year marks an amazing milestone in the history of The 100 organization. We honor a journey filled with passion and vision that have changed lives forever.

This year, we reflect on our Founders, those men who decided that the statistics on young black males had to be addressed and who put those thoughts to action.

T

hank you so much for joining us in celebrating this very special Gala. As Chairman of the Board of Directors for the 100 Black Men of Middle Tennessee, Inc. (The 100), it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 20th Annual Dinner Gala edition of MENTOR magazine, our official publication.

Within these pages, we offer a glimpse of the activities of The 100. Our sincere hope is that our supporters and shareholders are honored in the programmatic successes we have enjoyed over the course of the past year. Our mission is to nurture and enhance the

The 100 will recognized the “2nd Annual Leg ends of Nashville”, honorees, Mr. Jack Bovender, retired Chairman & CEO of HCA, Hospital Corporation of America and Mr. Colin Reed, Chairman & CEO of Gaylord Entertainment. The 100 is proud to honor these community leaders who represent the ideals of The 100. Their lives and actions represent a profound awareness of responsibility, commitment, and community support.

This year's theme is: The Pursuit of Excellence! Dream B.I.G. “Believing in Greatness!” We are extremely proud to announce the second group of the 100 Kings. Due to the overall success of the

First group of Kings, we have decided to extend our 100 Kings Scholarship Program to 200 Kings!

Without the charitable support of companies like Gaylord and Nissan as well as our numerous other corporate sponsors and program partners, it would be impossible for The 100 to maintain and extend its efforts to counter the lifethreatening disease known as under achievement. It is because of these pressing realities that each day we strive to offer our best to each young man and family we serve. Our sponsors provide invaluable resources that pave the way for amazing experiences facilitated by our members and staff.

We publish this magazine and host tonight's black-tie affair, not to be boastful, but to delight in the satisfaction of knowing we can and do make a difference! We again thank our past and current contributors and partners who share in the vision of The 100. Having witness the positive effects of The 100's academic and social enrichment programs, we invite you to continue to support the Dream B.I.G. Scholarship Awards Program while “Believing in Greatness!”

--Lee Molette, Chairman of the Board

10th Annual Legends of Nashville Awards Jack O. Bovender, Jr. is retired Chairman and Chief Executive

Officer of Nashville, Tennessee based Hospital Corporation of America, the nation's leading provider of healthcare services.

Mr. Bovender is a 40-year veteran of the healthcare industry and has worked at HCA for 32 years.

He began his hospital administrative career in 1969 as a lieutenant in the United States Navy stationed at the Naval Regional Medical Center in Portsmouth, VA. He later served as CEO of Medical Center Hospital in Largo, FL and West Florida Regional Medical Center in Pensacola, both owned by HCA. From 1985 to 1992, Bovender held several senior-level positions with HCA, including Division Vice President in HCA's Atlanta Division and President of HCA's Eastern Group Operations. In 1992, he was named Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for HCA. Following HCA's merger with Columbia in 1994, Bovender retired and served on the boards of several public and private companies, including Quorum Health Group, Inc., American Retirement Corp. and Nashville Electric Service. He returned to HCA in 1997 as HCA's President and Chief Operating

Officer. He was appointed to HCA's Board of Directors in 1999 and was named President and CEO in 2001. He became Chairman and CEO of HCA in January 2002 and Chairman in January 2009. He retired as chairman and CEO in December 2009.

Mr. Bovender is a member of the Duke University Board of Trustees and Executive Committee, the Duke University Health System Board, and the Board of Visitors at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke. In addition, Mr. Bovender is a former member of Duke University Divinity Schools' Board of Visitors and former chairman of the Duke University Divinity School Capital Campaign Committee. He is a founding member of the Nashville Health Care Council. He has served on the Boards of several Nashville human services and art organizations.

He served on the Board of Governors of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), an international professional society of nearly 30,000 healthcare executives. In 2007, he was awarded ACHE's Gold Medal Award,

recognizing his significant career-long contributions to the healthcare profession. Mr. Bovender was lauded by Institutional Investor magazine as “Best CEO in America� for healthcare facilities in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

He received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Duke University in 1967 and his master's degree in hospital administration from Duke University in 1969. Mr. Bovender and his wife, Barbara, live in Nashville. They have a son, Richard, who received his MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University in May 2008. Richard and his wife, Sara, live in Nashville.

Colin V. Reed became president and chief executive officer of

Gaylord Entertainment Company in May 2001. Reed was named in August 2004 by the company's board of directors as chairman and added those responsibilities in May 2005.

Since joining Gaylord Entertainment, Reed has successfully led the company's strategic reorganization as a hospitality and entertainment corporation through its Gaylord Hotels and Grand Ole Opry brands.

In that time, he has led the company's efforts to divest more than $300 million in non-core assets, strengthened its balance sheet and repositioned Gaylord Entertainment for future growth.

Prior to Gaylord Entertainment, Reed was chief financial officer and a member of the three-executive Office of the President for Harrah's Entertainment Inc. He joined that company in 1977 as a financial controller for its former Holiday Inn International Division, with accounting responsibility for operations in the United Kingdom.

Reed was named head of finance and administration for Holiday Inn International European Division in 1981 and was appointed

8

chief financial officer for Holiday Inn for the Europe, Middle East and Africa Division in 1985. He moved to the company's corporate headquarters in 1987 as executive assistant to the chairman.

Between 1987-92, Holiday Corporation executed a very successful recapitalization, sold Holiday Inns, launched new industryleading hospitality brands and achieved the distinction of being one of the Top 10 companies in terms of returns to shareholders listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

During this period, Reed worked with the chairman and chief executive officer on these endeavors.

In 1992, Reed was promoted to senior vice president of development for the company.

From 1993-95, he was responsible for building and executing the growth strategy of Harrah's Casinos, a company subsidiary, which resulted in Harrah's becoming one of

the nation's largest, most distributed and most profitable casino companies in the nation. In June 1995, Harrah's and its parent, Promus Companies, split into two separate public companies and in 1997 Reed was named executive vice president and chief financial officer. From 1999-2001 he served on the board of directors of Harrah's Entertainment. Reed previously served on the Bass Pro Shops and Rite Aid board of directors and currently serves on the board of directors for First Horizon National Corporation.
