CHAMBER HOSTS WE LEAD (WOMEN EMPOWERED) LUNCHEON

“At the heart of daring leadership is a deeply human truth that is rarely acknowledged, especially at work. Courage and fear, are not mutually exclusive. Most of us feel brave and afraid at the exact same time. We feel vulnerable sometimes all day long.” (Brené Brown) This is just one of the many concepts we are discussing in our WE Lead (Women Empowered) group.


In August, Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce hosted a WE Lead Luncheon at Culture Restaurant and Grill. It was a great time of fellowship, support, and encouragement for our women leaders. What a phenomenal group of women!
