Mission:

Women Organized to Mentor,
Educate and Network. Women in Business is a dynamic network dedicated to further the advancement of women and empower them in their professional and personal lives.

The Women in Business Steering Committee meets monthly to plan topics, speakers, and structure to organize first class event that attract a diversified group of women. Each program draws 100-400 attendees. Our committee, appointed by the Chamber President, meets on the second Wednesday of every month.

To plan and host successful events, the steering committee begins by electing a Sub-Committee Chair from our Steering Committee. The Sub Committee Chair creates a committee (open to any chamber member) of volunteers who are interested in getting involved in our mission and would like to make a contribution. When you participate on this level you are opening doors to build relationships with other chamber members which can ultimately help your business grow.
