 "I have witnessed first-hand as my Executive Assistant and Corporate Administrator has grown in her self confidence as well as gained experience in executive involvement as she has participated in EWI activities and leadership roles. Her experience has provided a positive impact in the shaping of the Chattanooga community." ---Jim Sattler, retired Chairman of the Board, EMJ Corporation |
 "With great reluctance I joined EWI. I was used to sitting at my desk and working and felt that I had enough of my time committed to work, family, church, etc. and that I did not need to commit to one more thing. However, at my first EWI meeting I was impressed with the enthusiasm and camaraderie of the women of the organization and quickly realized that I truly wanted to be a part. I firmly believe that joining EWI is one of the best personal and professional moves that I have made." Read more.---Lynda Childress, Former President and CEO, Luken Holdings, Inc. |
