The Women’s Leadership Forum Was More Than Energizing!


The women and men that attended the 12th Annual Women’s Leadership Forum were energized, educated, and empowered! Backstories really do matter, and the power panelists Alison Rempel Brown, Mary Grove, Kelly McCarthy, and Tina Rexing, enlightened the audience with their stories and experiences that led them to success.


Roshini Rajkumar, emcee and moderator, interviewed the keynote speaker, Andrea Yoch, where we learned how her authentic style led the companies she worked for to become successful. There was a constant buzz happening in the Marketplace where businesses interacted with the attendees.


The scholarship recipients received a standing ovation from the audience for all their hard work and perseverance as high school graduates. Scholarships were provided by the Chamber’s Charitable Foundation. 


Additional photos are coming in the next issue.

 

Thank you to our sponsors of the event! We appreciate your continued support!
