LA VERGNE, Tenn. – Attorney Charles R. Frazier has been named to the 2023 class of Leadership Rutherford, a personal development program within the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce. Frazier is one of 40 leaders who were selected for the program which is designed to motivate participants to develop and enhance the quality of their leadership in addressing pertinent community needs. 

According to the program's website, Leadership Rutherford's aim is to “help leaders prepare for voluntary responsibility, provide a practical and sophisticated understanding of major problems and opportunities facing Rutherford County and facilitate access and improve the communications network between emerging and current leaders, and stimulate increased community participation and commitment.”

“This opportunity to contribute to my community and learn how to become a better leader is priceless for me,” said Frazier, who has managed his own private law practice in Rutherford County since 2009. “I'm excited about the chance to make connections with people in Rutherford County who can show me innovative ways of doing things at my firm and community organizations that I might have never thought about.”
