In 1985, Loveman’s began an annual tradition of recognizing 10 of Chattanooga’s best dressed women for their sense of style and fashion. Since then, the award has evolved to symbolize the contributions women have made to the Chattanooga community.
The Women of Distinction steering committee chooses the honorees from the pool of applications the community submits. Selection is based on leadership, volunteerism and civic involvement.
The Women of Distinction of Greater Chattanooga has honored more than 330 women since 1985.
Proceeds from the Women of Distinction luncheon will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Contributions will be used to purchase books for children in Hamilton County.
The Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation will match the amount money given.
