Local professionals capped off nine months of learning from some of Chattanooga’s most accomplished leaders during the Chattanooga Chamber’s Annual Leadership Luncheon at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
Organized by the Young Professionals Association of Chattanooga, Protégé Chattanooga is a team-based mentoring program allowing class participants to meet as a group with one mentor each month.
“Spending time with leaders of this caliber is an amazing professional development opportunity for our Protégés,” said YPAC President Josh Davis.
