Empowered Women, Empower Women – Celebrating 4 Years
The Chamber's Empowered Women, Empower Women event has become a cornerstone celebration recognizing dynamic women leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. Now in its fifth year, the event continues to spotlight women who are breaking barriers, creating economic opportunities, and mentoring the next generation.
With more than 30 women empowered within the Chamber's network over the past five years, this milestone year also signals an exciting next chapter: the establishment of a Women's Council dedicated to advancing advocacy initiatives for women and young girls in business and leadership.
The Women's Council will focus on:
* Mentorship and leadership development
* Advocacy for women-owned businesses
* Financial literacy and wealth-building education
* Programs designed to introduce young girls to entrepreneurship and innovation

Elevating the Next Generation
In addition to supporting established businesses, the Chamber remains committed to elevating children and youth within the space of business. Through workshops, exposure to entrepreneurship, and mentorship initiatives, the organization is building pathways for young leaders to see themselves as future business owners, innovators, and community builders.
