How Adams Keegan is INvesting in Memphis

Adams Keegan is a privately-owned, Memphis-based company and the sponsor behind Create Yours, Choose901 Alumni's women's empowerment brunch. They provide payroll, benefits, and HR support to companies across various industries, including many nonprofits, and their work is grounded in a belief that people working together create outstanding experiences for those they serve.

Stewardship and Service is a core cultural expectation at Adams Keegan, which, to them, means being involved in the communities they serve through volunteerism and charitable giving. Here's what they had to say about why they showed up and what investing in Memphis means to them.

Why did you choose to sponsor Create Yours?

"Our company has a committee of employees who meet quarterly to review all sponsorship requests. When discussing this sponsorship opportunity, the committee was quick to acknowledge the impact that Choose901 and its various programs make in the city of Memphis. We appreciate the education, mentorship, and support that Choose901 Alumni provides to young professionals in Memphis.

We often look for opportunities to build up our own women in leadership and recognize emerging female leaders by attending local events such as the Junior League DevelopHER conference and the annual tribute luncheon for the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis."

How do you think about community partnership as a form of impact?

"We don't see ourselves as only service providers. We look for opportunities to be a good neighbor within the Cities we operate (Memphis, Nashville, and Atlanta) through volunteer service and Charitable Giving. We see responsible stewardship as a privilege."

How does showing up for Choose901 Alumni women connect to Adams Keegan's broader mission?

"At the end of the day, we want to continue to help and champion Memphis by supporting local businesses and nonprofits, and those who work there. As Choose901 Alumni provides young professionals with resources and support, we want to do our part in investing in the future of Memphis and those who live and work here.

"Women are powerhouses. They bring unique insights, skills, and perspectives that can help companies succeed and prosper. Strategically investing in women can strengthen your internal talent pool and company culture."

Sponsorships like this one make it possible for Choose901 Alumni to create experiences that connect women to community, resources, and each other. If your organization is interested in sponsoring a future Choose901 Alumni event or finding another way to get involved, we'd love to hear from you.
