100 Women of Influence

As we celebrate Junior League of Knoxville’s 100th year, we’d love to recognize some of the many women in Knoxville that were influential in making Knoxville the great place that it is today. Any woman, living or deceased, that resided or called the Knoxville area home for some time over the last 100 years (1921-2021) is eligible to be nominated. Please include the nominee’s achievements and contributions outside the home, whether professional, community, religious, health-care, educational, or other types of contributions to the Knoxville area.

We will select 100 women to honor in during our Centennial Year for their influence in the community.
