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.

President's Message

Message from the President

April is here & I’m shocked! I can’t believe the Easter Bunny is on his way already. 2022 is flying by, but I can say that April is a month I have been waiting for. Our Board Forum is here! I am beyond excited to see our EWI friends from our region & beyond. We also get to host the corporate board! It’s going to be so much fun to be together & share more on our 3 C’s—Community,    Career, & Connections! Reminder that we will not meet at the Walden Club this month due to the Forum. We will have a mixer later this month for our local chapter!

Can we talk about how great it was at our March meeting? Kim White was such an incredible speaker. She is such an inspiration to our community and how blessed we were to have her join us. There was so much excitement in the room with our speaker and all of our guests! Big things are happening in Chattanooga and I absolutely love it!

Please help me with welcoming our new members. First up is Hannah Oliver with Defoor Hospitality. Hannah is amazing and I’m  excited for her to join our group! We also have the incredible Vicki Scott. Vicki was a guest in March and joined after the meeting. She was also with us for our Reading Rally this month. We are so happy she is with us!

Speaking of, Reading Rally! Oh my heart… I LOVED this event. It was my first Reading Rally and it was such a joy to be around all the kiddos. They were all so sweet and happy to see us. I already can’t wait for next year. Did you watch our video? I think it turned out great for our first production! Many thanks to our volunteers and readers for the Reading Rally this year. Also, thank you to the Lyndhurst Foundation for making the t-shirts happen this year! So appreciative of you for all you do!

March was great and April will be  greater! Thankful for each of you and this great Chapter. See you at the Forum!
