Over 6,000 women across the state of Tennessee are committed to promoting voluntarism, developing women’s potential, and improving their communities through the seven Junior League organizations in the state.  Although each League has its own individual focus within each community, these Leagues come together through the Tennessee Advocacy and Public Awareness Committee (TAPA).

TAPA is a state-level coalition formed and owned by the Junior Leagues of Tennessee to facilitate networking, coordinate information and research, and advocate on issues of shared interest. The members meet regularly to exchange information, monitor issues, support legislation and to take action in public affairs relating to children, women and families.

The purpose of TAPA is to coordinate the public affairs activities of member Leagues; to assist those Leagues in their public affairs programs; to follow legislation and disseminate information to the member Leagues; to direct advocacy efforts to those issue areas which are directly related to member Leagues’ projects, priorities and focus areas; and to advocate for specific legislation relevant to member Leagues' issues.

In 2007, Junior Leagues throughout the state voted unanimously to adopt the Delete Online Predators Project which is a program through the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police.  The Junior Leagues of Tennessee join Governor Phil Bredesen, First Lady Andrea Conte, country music sensation Taylor Swift, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in a bold initiative to educate children, parents and educators on the growing problem of child predators on the internet.

The Junior League of Chattanooga retains membership in TAPA and partners with the organization to promote the Delete Online Predators Program, encourage voter registration and turnout in Hamilton County, and organize "Junior League Day on the Hill" in Nashville in an effort to encourage positive legislation for women and children.
