The Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce presents The Chattanooga Nautilus Awards, celebrating strength, leadership & courage in women. The purpose of the awards is to honor individuals providing or advocating for increased opportunities for women of all ages.

The name of the awards is derived from the chambered nautilus, the sea snail or mollusk that forms chambers as it grows. Once a chamber becomes too small for the mollusk, it builds a new, larger chamber and seals off the old.

The nautilus shell symbolizes the strength, leadership and courage that women must demonstrate in order to succeed in the business world. It also represents the continuing growth and development of women as they gain the skills, knowledge and self-confidence that allows them to serve their businesses and their community.

Developed by Chamber staff and volunteers, the Nautilus Awards include:

• The Navigator of Entrepreneurship Award
• The Lightkeeper Award
• The Pearl of Promise Award
• The Stargazer Award
• The ATHENA Award

The Nautilus Awards recipients will be announced on Friday, October 24, 2008 in the Ballroom of The Chattanoogan Hotel, 1102 Broad Street.
