“ Women in Business
is the perfect forum
to learn, engage and
ensure your voice
is heard. Plus, it’s a
greater opportunity
to network with other
female leaders in
a fun and comfortable
environment.”
Barb Baumann
Securian
“ The business community
has so many smart and
talented women.
This event was a great
opportunity to start the
discussion about how to
get these women more
engaged in the chamber,
with each other, and
in important policy
discussions that impact
all businesses.”
