Girlfriendit: Get Involved! Crissy Haslam, Brad Dennis

You are in for a treat with our two dynamic, literally "world changers" who are heavily involved in serving communities - from two profound lenses.

Our first guest: First Lady of Tennessee, Mrs Crissy Haslam.

As First Lady of Tennessee, Crissy has introduced a three-part initiative that focuses on the interplay between family engagement and literacy improvement in Tennessee. She has been traveling the state to stress the importance of parents as first teachers, parents as education partners, and also to raise awareness for the exponential value of reading on grade level by the 3rd grade.

We appreciated her distinction of "politics" vs "public service". You'll love her!

Our next guest: Brad Dennis is the Search and Rescue Director for KlaasKids. Which oversees the search and rescue of missing and exploited children.

His rescue efforts have been chronicled on CNN, The Early Show, The Today Show, Dateline, MSNBC, and 48 Hours.

His tenacity is contagious.
