La Paz Chattanooga, a local non-profit organization that works with the Latino community, has announced the addition of a new award to their annual Latino Leadership Luncheon, The Organization Impact Award.
The Latino Leadership Awards brings together members of the community to recognize and honor Latinos and Hispanics from the greater Chattanooga area, and present them with an array of awards for career achievement and community involvement. This year, in addition to Chattanooga’s Choice, Emerging Leader, Community Champion, Anne Shelton Memorial Volunteer of the Year, and Latino Leader Award, La Paz has announced they have added an Organization Impact Award.
The Organization Impact Award recognizes one organization or business, that has gone above and beyond in their service to the local Latino community.
The recipient of this award is chosen by the La Paz Chattanooga staff and members of the Latino Leadership Awards selection committee, and will be announced during the luncheon on Sept. 18.
“We are pleased to see the position several organizations and businesses have taken in their service to the Latino community and feel they should be honored and recognized for their hard work and dedication,” said La Paz's Executive Director Stacy Johnson.
The awards ceremony will take place on Sept. 18 from 11 a.m-1 p.m. at the Chattanooga Convention Center. Tickets and table purchases, as well as table sponsorships, are available on the event website at
