“Despite making up more than half of U.S. college graduates, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles throughout the country. Unfortunately, this is true in our region as well. Whether it be through training workshops that develop various skills such as negotiation or strategic communication, mentorship programs that help young women find their voices, or leadership conferences such as this Leading Women Conference, it is important that we encourage and promote women to be leaders."
As part of this conference, the Chamber will be presenting leadership awards to women in our community who demonstrate the meaning of being a leader. Follow the link below to nominate an leading woman in our community:
