Leading the Community Effort to Save the Amphitheater
Leading the Community Effort to Save the Amphitheater
In 2020, Jerred, while serving as President of Downtown Neighborhood Association, helped form a committee to bring the beloved amphitheater to the forefront of people's minds and heart. Through his work, he lifted the voice of many to say "it's time to invest in this landmark; Memphis is music, and music is Memphis". The voice was lifted and heard at City Hall where less than a year later, Mayor Strickland allocated $4mil towards it's renovation.

In November 2019, Jerred led the efforts to make state history by installing the state's first rainbow crosswalk paid for and installed by volunteers and private donations. The crosswalk was installed in the Cooper-Young community, which has the highest concentration of same-sex identifying households in the southeast United States.

Appointed by Mayor Jim Strickland, Jerred serves as Commissioner for the City of Memphis' City Beautiful Commission. A cleaner, more beautiful Memphis is a strong passion for Jerred.

Leading By Example & With Dedication
Leading By Example & With Dedication
Jerred was elected President of the Downtown Neighborhood Association in February 2020. When elected, the organization had only 67 members and monthly meetings were down to 25-30 people per event. Through his leadership and with the help of the dedicated new board members he appointed and the membership elected, the organization has grown to its largest membership in over a decade with hundreds of new members and membership meetings exceeding 150+ people with guest speakers that range from Congressman Steve Cohen to Mayor Jim Strickland. The organization also helps keep downtown clean with it's first ever initiative: DNA's "Fight the Blight" initiative.
