Women in Business Park Ridge kicked off 2025 with vision and intention at an inspiring vision board workshop on January 22. The event took place at Mully's Grill / Social 18 and provided an excellent networking opportunity.

It was wonderful to see so many new guests eager to learn about Women

in Business and the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce.
