As the sun sets on another Protégé Chattanooga session, a bright future emerges for Chattanooga’s young leaders.
Over a nine-month period, Protégé Chattanooga participants connected with their peers and area business and community leaders to develop their business and civic-engagement potential, as well as build enduring personal and professional connections.
The sessions culminated in a class graduation at Finley Stadium last Thursday.
This year, 23 protégés between the ages of 21 and 40 were recognized for their successful completion of this program.
Watch a recap of their experience, below.
