OUR HISTORY

EWI of Chattanooga History

EWI of Chattanooga was chartered in 1987 by EWI of Nashville, with Ann Chapman serving as our chartering officer. In the summer of 1984 Nashville hosted the first function; a luncheon in one of the train cars at the Chattanooga Choo Choo to explain EWI. The room was filled with individuals from the various businesses and government offices in Chattanooga. From 1984 until we chartered, Ann Chapman traveled to Chattanooga on a regular basis to conduct coffees, wine and cheese parties, and other informal meetings trying to get enough members to charter a Chapter.

In late 1986 we realized it was difficult to get individuals to commit to an organization that really didn't exist. (Since we had not yet chartered.) So the core group of interested individuals got together and elected officers, set regular monthly meetings with speakers and charged dues. We needed 40 members to charter.

We were finally able to get 34 paid member firms, and Corporate EWI allowed us to charter on May 13, 1987, with 34 firms. Chartering night was a very impressive black tie event in the Silver Ballroom of the Read House with extensive newspaper and media coverage. The EWI Corporate President and other Corporate officers attended as well as a large group from EWI of Nashville. Other Chapters represented were Seattle, San Jose/Santa Clara Valley, Baton Rouge, Charlotte, Birmingham and San Fernando Valley. Also in attendance were representatives from City government, the Chamber of Commerce, executives from our members firms, spouses and friends.

We are very proud of each of our chartering member firms.
Last chartering representative still representing chartering firm: Catherine Cox of Lyndhurst Foundation.
Representatives employed by chartering firms who are still active in EWI: Fredia Higdon was with Delta Airlines and is now the rep from Chattanooga Bakery; Carolyn Stringer was with Constar and is now with Luken Holdings; Nancy Templeton was with the Lupton Company and is now a Life Member.

Scholarships

Two of our major accomplishments are the EWI/ASIST Jean Bradford Memorial Endowment Fund at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and our scholarship at Chattanooga State Technical Community College.

Jean Bradford worked for the Chancellor at UTC. She was attractive and had a bubbly personality. At the Christmas meeting on December 12, 1995, Jean was wearing the pants suit she won at the EWI auction in October, and she delighted in going around the room modeling her special purchase. Jean, who lived with her mother, went home that night and complained of heartburn. The next morning her mother was concerned that Jean was still in bed and would be late for work. Her mother found her dead in her bed. EWI of Chattanooga, in conjunction with UTC, established a memorial endowment. We needed a minimum of $15,000 to establish the endowment and we agreed to complete our commitment within five years. Our scholarship at UTC is based on the interest this money earns, and through continued donations to capital is over $75,000 strong. In addition to the Chapter's contributions, Jean's two daughters and other individuals have also contributed money to the endowment.

In 1997 we awarded our first scholarship at Chattanooga State Technical Community College. In 2010 we awarded our first scholarship to Southern Adventist University.

We have contributed to our scholarship programs at UTC, Chattanooga State and Southern Adventist every year since they were established.
