Cammon is a director in the firm of Grant, Konvalinka & Harrison. She is also a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, serving for several years on its public service committee, and is a member of the Chattanooga Bar Association. Cammon has been the recipient of many awards and honors during her career. Active in her community, Cammon is a member of the Board of the Memorial Health Care Foundation, for which she has served as treasurer during the past two fiscal years.
