Mr. Jaye Budd

Our guest speaker will be Mr. Jaye Budd founder of The Alchemy Sky Foundation. Jaye will provide a presentation about their music therapy program for nursing home veterans who reside at the VA Medical Center in Decatur, Georgia.
The Alchemy Sky Foundation (ASF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, brings the healing power of music to those who need it. Their partners include the V.A. and Covenant House. Jaye’s mission is to leverage business leaders, health professionals and music teachers to unleash the power of music in order to connect and heal people. His vision is to help create a world whereby obstacles to access and create music are decreased and the opportunities to engage and enjoy music are increased. Photos and videos can be viewed from their website at https://www.alchemysky.org/gallery.
A successful businessman, Jaye spent 13 years at Verizon Wireless from 2001 until 2014. During the “boom” phase of the wireless industry, he played an integral leadership role on both the sales and marketing teams. Starting in a time when most people did not have a mobile phone until the ubiquitous explosion that is wireless today, Jaye led his teams through unprecedented growth.
Jaye also has an entrepreneurial facet starting and overseeing two real estate property management companies that own and manage a multitude of properties across multiple states. Seeing tenants as families is a poignant window into the mindset of a customer for where someone calls home is an integral component to a healthy quality of life.
An avid musician, Jaye has recorded his own songs in multiple states including Vibe Asylum Studio in Honolulu and Sun Studio in Memphis. His songs speak to the power and resilience of the human spirit. The first single of his upcoming CD, All This Life, is titled, “It’s Too Early (To Be Too Late)” and is now available on iTunes and Amazon. Jaye holds a B.A. in Economics and Anthropology from the University of Notre Dame and an M.B.A. from Arizona State University.
Please plan to join us on 12 July 2017 to learn about a very interesting approach to healing.
Reservations close at 3pm, 7 July 2017.
