Scenic City Women’s Network has chosen Dr. Nell Mohney for their 2015 “Lydia Impact Award” which honors extraordinary Christian working women. She will be recognized at the Scenic City Women’s Network’s 11th Annual Praise Breakfast on June 25.
Officials said, "Dr. Mohney’s contributions in the area of faith based mentoring and encouragement for all women have been long standing. Nell is a writer, lecturer, motivational speaker and Sunday school teacher. Her column appears weekly in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
