DESCRIPTION:Our purpose is to provide a platform to empower and inspire the leadership role of women in the workforce. We advance women's leadership skills and foster their business growth through networking\, mentorship opportunities and educational seminars designed specifically for women. \n\n\n\nThe goal of the committee is to create a business relevant platform where professional women can gather together for networking connections\, resources and business education. The Council will host networking events\, services\, resources and programs for women to further their career leadership goals. In addition\, the Council will present an annual recognition award to a woman that supports the mission and goals of the Women in Business Council. Further\, the Council will survey members to self-identify areas of expertise in which they are willing to mentor and advise others members.\n\n \n \nCo-Chair: Jessica Garrett\, Dynamic Perception Dance Company\n\nCo-Chair: TBD\n\nMeets   3rd Tuesday of every other month at 1:00pm on February 20\, April 16\, June 18\, August 20\, October 15\, December 17\, or at the call of the Chamber or Committee Leadership\, via a hybrid meeting at Westmont Centre or at a member location.\n\n \n\nCouncil participation is open to all Westmont Chamber Members (non-members are invited to attend one meeting or event as a guest).\n\nCouncil shall form "teams" to work with staff in helping plan events\, programs and/or services on behalf with the approval of the Council participants.\n\nCouncil programs\, services and events shall be approved by a majority vote of the Council\, the Westmont Chamber Executive Board and the Westmont Chamber Board of Directors.\n\n \n\nCouncil Funding & Activities\n\nThe Women in Business Council is self-funding as are all standing committees.
