The Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy will host its annual celebration of academic excellence, 2024 Odyssey Awards Luncheon, on Tuesday, March 19, from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

Vernice "FlyGirl" Armour is this year's keynote speaker. As America's first Black female combat pilot, Vernice's remarkable journey from the battlefield to the boardroom is nothing short of inspiring. From serving two tours of duty in Iraq to founding her own consulting firm, FlyGirl embodies the spirit of resilience and determination, said officials. 

Sherri and Daniel Anderson are the the co-chairs of this year’s event.

"To be able to spend time honoring and sharing in the experience of the growth of such a dynamic group of young girls and to see their success is truly irreplaceable," said Dr. Elaine Swafford, CEO of Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy. "I’m grateful for the excitement of this event, the support of our community, and the ambition of the girls."

Different levels of table sponsorships are available here.

Individual tickets are priced at $75 each and available here
