“It is an honor to serve the community and Erlanger as a board member,” said Ms. Boyington. “This exceptional facility means a lot to the community, and was also the place of birth of our daughters so it is personally special to me. I believe in the mission of Erlanger, and look forward to supporting that as it expands to meet the growing needs of our community.”

 

Erlanger’s new board member is also a leader in the Indian community, and has served on numerous boards including the Chattanooga Chamber, Enterprise Center, GPS, Girls Inc. CWLI and Georgia Tech.
