It documents, shares and builds upon best practices from nationally as well as locally operating businesses to strengthen existing integration programs and to promote collaboration among organizations. The AS/COA works with national companies and, in Nashville, with local partners such as the Tennessee Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to engage businesses, community groups and public sector leaders that promote integration and to then document their best practices. Our immigrant integration work also involves cities including Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA , Portland, OR and Omaha, NE in addition to Nashville, TN.
