“The incoming class participants resemble Chattanooga in their diversity, vibrancy and engagement. They represent the growing mosaic of industries and backgrounds within our city and county. I am confident in their success and eagerly anticipate collaborating with them to achieve our Velocity 2040 and Chattanooga Climbs‘ goal of increasing diversity in management, executive roles and elected positions,” said Toya Moore, leadership development director, Chattanooga Chamber.
