Thank you, Karen Bentz, founding and managing partner of Anakeesta, for an incredible Legacy Leader Luncheon and Fireside Chat at one of the most beautiful destinations in the Smokies!
Karen shared her inspiring journey from landscape architecture and environmental planning to helping create and grow Anakeesta into a nationally recognized mountaintop attraction. Her passion for thoughtful design, environmental stewardship, entrepreneurship, and creating memorable experiences for families has helped shape a destination that continues to bring people together while celebrating the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains.
In your honor, the book, “The Mighty Mountain” was donated to the Anna Porter Public Library. Thank you for sharing your leadership story, vision, and wisdom! We are grateful for the impact you continue to make on our community!
