Theme for the 5 p.m. event is "Developing a Mindset for Health and Prosperity," and making New Year's resolutions work, said co-organizer Lloyd Reshard. "The Pensacola Network is a grass-roots effort to help grow our community," Reshard said. "Typically we have a diverse crowd that averages about 100 people."

In addition to guest speakers Jackson and Stanley, other speakers will include Ladonna Spivey, Destini Robinson and Keya Wiggins.
