Connie Chung began her career in broadcast journalism in 1969 in the Washington, D.C. area and has since worked on all major TV networks.    Connie Chung left her on-air duties in March 2003, but returned in 2006 to co-host a weekly program with her husband, Maury Povich.     In addition to receiving 3 Emmy Awards, including 2 for best interview/interviewer, Ms. Chung also received the Amnesty International Human Rights award for her reports of young women in Bangladesh who were burned with acid in revenge for turning down men's advances.

The Chattanooga Women's Leadership Institute's mission in the community is to increase the leadership skills and capabilities of women through a variety of networking, training and educational programs.
