“Chattanooga Insight provides an excellent opportunity to network with other participants and to meet elected representatives, as well as area business, community and arts leaders,” said Diane Parks, Director, Leadership & Community Development with the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce. “If you’re not new to the community and you know someone who is, please let them know about the program. You never know who they might meet.”
