Women in Business Committee

Mission Statement: Our purpose is to support the role of women in the workforce and foster their business growth through networking opportunities and seminars designed specifically for women. The committee awards an annual scholarship to women needing further education to re-enter the job market or shift career direction.

The Women in Business Committee is the Chamber’s largest committee. The goal of the committee is to bring professional women together in a monthly meeting for networking and business education. The committee hosts an annual evening of networking a June dinner and scholarships for mature women continuing their education to further their career goals.

At the Women in Business Annual Awards Dinner, scholarships are awarded to women over the age of 25 who are continuing their education to further their career goals or reenter the workforce. Committee members are responsible for procuring a noted speaker, promotional material and other aspects of the evening.
