Women in Business

The Marsh Area Women in Business Networking Series is a quarterly networking program hosted by the Marsh Area Chamber of Commerce. The series brings women from across the Marsh Area together to build professional connections, share ideas, learn from one another, and help shape future programming for women in business.

All women are welcome. You do not need to own a business or be a Chamber member to attend. The series is open to business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, employees, community leaders, nonprofit professionals, and women who simply want to connect with others in the area.

Events are held at locations throughout the Marsh Area, with an emphasis on supporting and highlighting local businesses and organizations. Whenever possible, events are hosted at women-owned businesses or other locations that help showcase the people and businesses that make our communities unique.

Each event is designed to provide a mix of networking, conversation, learning, and connection. Depending on the event, you may hear from a local speaker, participate in a hands-on activity or discussion, learn something new, or simply have time to meet other women from across the area.

Events are intentionally welcoming and flexible. Come for the entire event or stop in for as long as your schedule allows.

No. The Women in Business Networking Series is for any woman interested in connecting, learning, and growing. Employees, managers, entrepreneurs, professionals, community members, and business owners can all benefit from the relationships and conversations created through the program.

No. Chamber membership is not required to attend Women in Business Networking events. The series is an opportunity for women throughout the Marsh Area to connect and become more involved in the local business community.

The Women in Business Networking Series is designed to meet approximately once each quarter. Event dates, locations, and topics vary throughout the year.

Topics are shaped by the interests and needs of women in the Marsh Area. Future programming may include business education, leadership, personal and professional growth, marketing, technology, hands-on learning, guest speakers, peer discussions, mentorship, and networking.

We want women who attend these events to help shape the program, so feedback and ideas are always welcome.

The Marsh Area is home to many women who own, lead, work for, and support local businesses and organizations. The Chamber created the Women in Business Networking Series to provide a place for these women to connect, share ideas, build relationships, and tell us what support and programming would be most valuable to them.

The goal is not to create a one-size-fits-all program, but to build something useful with the women in our communities.

Upcoming events are posted on the Marsh Area Chamber of Commerce website and social media pages. Check this page regularly for new event dates, locations, speakers, and topics.

Yes! Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses interested in supporting the Women in Business Networking Series. Sponsors help make these events possible and contribute to the continued growth of programming for women throughout the Marsh Area.

Businesses interested in sponsoring an event or the series can contact the Marsh Area Chamber of Commerce for more information.

We want to hear from you! If there is a topic you would like to learn about, a speaker you would like to hear from, or a type of networking or educational event you would attend, please share your idea with the Marsh Area Chamber of Commerce.

This program is being built with local women, not just for local women. Your ideas help shape what comes next.
