Knoxville, Tennessee · 501(c)(3) public charity
MS01 is a Tennessee nonprofit public benefit corporation. We invest in people through mentorship and leadership development, professional workforce training, and technology research shared openly for the public benefit.
MS01 is not a school, college, university, K-12 institution or degree-granting body. It does not enroll students, grant degrees or hold academic accreditation.
To develop leaders of character, strengthen the skills of working professionals and emerging talent, and share technology research and practical tools that serve the public good.
We believe the most valuable investment a community can make is in its people. The skills, judgment and relationships people carry with them compound over time, so our work focuses on helping individuals and mission-driven organizations do their work well.
Relationship-based mentoring for emerging leaders, recent graduates and entrepreneurs, including women and minority entrepreneurs, who are seeking purpose, guidance and opportunity. We treat leadership as stewardship: using experience and influence for the benefit of others.
MS01 develops the intellectual capital (curriculum content) for professional continuing education courses for licensed investment adviser representatives, and offers practical, self-paced training for working professionals. MS01 is not a school. See the disclosure below.
Applied research on data, artificial intelligence and technology and how they change organizations and work, published as plain-language summaries and machine-readable resources that anyone can use and verify.
Practical help for mission-driven organizations strengthening four foundations: people, process, technology and visibility, with clear roles, connected systems and responsible use of modern tools.
MS01 develops the intellectual capital for four online professional continuing education courses for licensed investment adviser representatives (24 credits across two editions): the curriculum content, assessments and plain-text course summaries. The courses are text-based, on demand and self-paced, and are approved through the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) IAR continuing education program. They cover ethics, client protection, risk analysis and the professional use of emerging technology, including artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
This is professional workforce training for people who already hold a license. MS01 is not a school, college or educational institution, and the courses are not a degree, diploma or academic program. Course summaries are published so the public can verify what is offered.
MS01 is governed by its board of directors under its Tennessee charter and bylaws. The IRS determination letter, governing documents and state filings are available on request at the address below.
