Executive Women International® (EWI) addresses the business professional's quest for personal achievement and drive for professional development. EWI is unique among the myriad of associations in that the company, or firm, holds the membership, not the individual.
EWI offers many benefits to both the individual representative and the firm. Representatives who participate in EWI have access to a variety of events and programs. Their companies benefit through the professional connections and the recognition received as business leaders locally and internationally.
We focus on Connections, Careers and Community.
- Connections - Promoting member firms and its representatives. We believe that connecting is about the dynamic evolving relationship linking our Chapters, our administrative team, our members and the larger communities we live and work in.
- Careers - Enhancing personal and professional development through learning programs and EWI's Academy of Leadership
- Community - Encouraging involvement by donating time and resources to improve lives through scholarship programs, literacy initiatives and other community programs.
The Chattanooga Chapter meets monthly; typically the second Tuesday evening.

| President's Message | May 2012 | | Letter from the President | I want you to step back a moment and evaluate where we are in our Strategic Plan for this year. Do you remember what it was and what our theme is? Here’s a recap:
Focus everything around the 3 C’s of EWI: Connections, Careers and Community!
The Strategic Plan:
• Develop each of us as a Leader through in-depth monthly programs focused on the 3 C’s
• Highlight every Firm, Executive and Firm Representative in a year
• Network and engage Members/Firms more through Mentoring and Networking
• Celebrate our 25th Anniversary: Our History and Our Future
• Engage Member Reps/Chairs/Board together more
• Educate our Firms and Members about the value of EWI to your Firm, You and our Community
• Community involvement through Philanthropy and Fundraising
Our theme for the year is growing as Servant Leaders. A Servant Leader serves the people they lead and are selfless which involves listening, empathy, awareness, foresight, inspiring, empowering, personally investing in and committing to the growth of others, and building a healthy community.
Reflection time: How are we doing? Where can we continue to improve in our strategic plan? Are you growing personally and professionally? How are you getting involved to really gain value from the strategic plan for you, your firm and EWI?
You are amazing, remarkable Leaders and Professional Women. I am here to serve you however possible and honored to be a member of EWI.
~Michelle Withorn, Chapter President
