The Chattanooga Women's Leadership Institute Leadership Luncheon, MENtors: Men Who Promote Women, will be held Friday, May 8, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Chattanoogan Hotel.
Autumn Grave's comment at the CWLI annual meeting, "Our mentors do not always look like us," was an introduction to one of the themes for 2015: recognizing and acknowledging the importance of mentors.
"Men Who Promote Women" will be the focus of the panel discussion; not just "promote" in the sense of earning a position with a higher rank, but in the sense of offering encouragement and being a champion for women as leaders, said officials.
The panelists will be Councilman Chris Anderson, David Cook, Ron Harris, Mich Patel and Keith Sanford.
Participants are encouraged to bring a guest that has served as a mentor in their career. They will be recognized by having them stand during the program.
Cost for the luncheon is $23. Register here.
