Women in Business Committee

This Committee provides a forum for women to create connections, gain knowledge, and build strategic alliances to foster their personal and professional development. The network supports the advancement of women in the workplace and is open to all Members.

The Women in Business Committee (WIB) is the Chamber’s largest Committee, bringing professional women together for meetings, educational seminars, and networking events. The Committee is comprised of multiple Sub-Committees for its Members to get further involved. A portion of the proceeds from these events are gifted, annually, to a local non-profit that supports the mission of the WIB committee.

The WIB will be taking a break this fall to assess the needs of our members, revisit our mission, and align our calendar with the fiscal year of the Chamber. We look forward toreconvening in January, 2027.
