Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians will honor local business leader Marie Webb at the 2026 Trefoil Society Luncheon for the Tennessee Valley and North Georgia region. The annual fundraising event recognizes remarkable women who exemplify the spirit of Girl Scouting.
As senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Chattanooga-based BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Webb champions the company’s values and an inclusive culture. BlueCross has earned repeated recognition from Forbes, including placement on its lists of Best Large Employers, Best Employers for Women and Best Employers for Diversity.
The luncheon celebrating Webb will be held at the Waterhouse Pavilion, 850 Market St., in Chattanooga on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $75 and available for purchase at TrefoilSociety.org.
“Girl Scouts is about preparing girls to lead and make a difference in their communities, and Marie Webb is a great example of those values in action,” said Lynne Fugate, CEO of the Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians (GSCSA). “Her leadership and commitment to people have made a meaningful impact across Chattanooga and beyond.”
Before joining BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Webb served as senior vice president of human resources and chief talent and inclusion officer at EPB in Chattanooga, where she led the company’s evolution into a technology-focused organization. She earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts from Denison University and a master’s degree in human resource development from Xavier University.
Girl Scout Ella Munsuz will speak at the luncheon about how Girl Scouting has impacted her life.
The Trefoil Society luncheons are named after the trefoil-shaped pin that Girl Scouts receive to symbolize the acceptance of ethical leadership values and are held in the council’s Appalachian Highlands, East Tennessee and Tennessee Valley & North Georgia regions each year.
Sponsors for the Trefoil Society Luncheon in Chattanooga include First Horizon Foundation, Graphic Creations, Chattanooga City Lifestyle magazine and River City Company.
