Carter Co. Commission honors Remarkable Woman Angie Odom at Monday meeting
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Carter County Commission approved a resolution on Monday to recognize Commissioner Angie Odom after she was named News Channel 11's 2025 Remarkable Woman earlier this spring.
The commission's agenda for Monday's meeting said the resolution aimed to recognize Odom for representing the Tri-Cities as a Nexstar Remarkable Woman this year.
Odom runs the TLC Community Center in Elizabethton, which provides resources and services to mothers and even grandparents who are raising their grandchildren in the region. She's run the center for 25 years.

'I was a bit surprised,' Odom said Monday night. 'From the committee to now, this wasn't something that I felt was necessary, but I'm very honored. And it was very thoughtful. And I appreciate those who supported the resolution, and I'm just honored that God has allowed me to serve for 25 years now, serve this county and the Tri-Cities.'
Odom said that the Remarkable Women initiative has helped her center in many ways during a time it's needed: a big move.
'Because of this, it has shown more attention towards the TLC. That has come at a wonderful time when we had some needs. And it's just been amazing, at the companies that have reached out and were saying, you know, 'we want to help with the gravel' or 'we want to help with concrete' or, you know, 'we just want to help you move.''
