Sad to announce the passing of Jim Sylvis. Past President of TSAI for many years, he kept us going through many changes in the business and is missed very much.
We have VERY exciting News! Beginning March 15th, TSAI Around Town will

This is a premier location in Nashville and a fantastic opportunity. It will mostly

networking available.
