Building Connections, Driving Growth: Chamber in Action Recap

WOMEN IN BUSINESS

LUNCH AND LEARN

Domestic Violence Doesn’t Discriminate

February is often associated with love, but for many, what is labeled as “love” is experienced as fear, control, or silence. Domestic violence affects people of every age, background, and profession — and it challenges us to rethink what healthy relationships truly look like.

As women in business, we hold influence, perspective, and the ability to lead with empathy. By understanding that domestic violence can impact anyone, we can help bring this issue out of the shadows and create space for awareness, support, and meaningful change.

Featured Speaker Chelsea Nabozny, Assistant Director MSCFV

Chelsea Nabozny is a leader, advocate, and systems-builder committed to exposing and addressing the often-unseen realities of domestic violence. She currently serves as Assistant Director at Mid-Shore Council on Family Violence. Don't miss this important conversation that empowers, educates, and strengthens our community.

Chamber Annual Awards Night

We will honor four award categories—Chamber Champion, Community Impact, Business Excellence, and Rising Leader—while also recognizing all members for their years of dedicated membership.

NEXTGEN YOUTH EVENT VENDOR MARKET 2026

We’re excited to invite you to our NextGen Youth Event on Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 11 AM–3 PM. This event provides tremendous value to local youth by connecting them with inspiring businesses, hands‑on learning, and real opportunities to explore future career paths.

We still have space for additional youth vendors, so please share this opportunity with any young entrepreneurs or student groups who may want to participate.

The event is free to attend, and we also welcome sponsors who want to support and elevate this important work for our community’s next generation.

We would love to have you join us—whether as a guest, a sponsor, or by helping us spread the word to youth participants.
