2025 S.H.E. Influences Conference & Business Expo

Description

Celebrate 20 Years of Empowerment at the 2025 S.H.E. Influences Conference & Business Expo!
10 Years of S.H.E. | A Decade of Bold Voices, Big Ideas & Brave Action

From Forum to Movement—A Legacy of Empowerment
 
In 2005, the Chamber planted a seed with the Annual Women’s Forum, a gathering dedicated to amplifying women’s voices.

By 2015, it blossomed into the Annual Women’s Conference, growing in reach and impact, and by 2017, with bold vision and a deep understanding of the power of connection, it transformed into the S.H.E. Influences Conference (Speaks, Hears, Empowers), a dynamic platform where women lead, inspire, and thrive.
 
Now in 2025, we’re celebrating the 10th year of S.H.E. and 20 years of women empowering women, a milestone built on innovation, foresight, and the belief that when women rise, communities rise.
