Centennial Park

Though her career began in the world of sports — she has degrees in sports business and administration and worked with the American Volleyball Coaches Association — these days, Joia Pollard is flexing her muscles as the program coordinator at the Centennial Park Conservancy. Originally from Lexington, KY, the Nashville transplant spearheads the event management for everything from Musicians Corner to Celebrate Nashville, Centennial Park’s annual cultural festival in October. Devoted to bringing arts, music, and enriching education to Centennial Park and the Parthenon, Joia is our newest FACE of Nashville!
