05/15/13Sherry Misner on a "Unique Memphis Experience"In our weekly blog, "Beyond the Bio," we ask MBQ Power Players to write a post of their choosing about their industry. Well, it’s that time of year again.

My offices all are in college towns, adjacent to or very near college campuses.

Suffice it to say I have some experience with... |
