A new initiative from the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce's Women in Business Committee
FREDERICK, MD. (PRWEB) JULY 29, 2019
The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce's Women in Business (WIB) Committee is proud to announce the launch of S.H.E. Week, a week of events celebrating the Strength, Heart and Equality of women in Frederick County, August 26–29.
"S.H.E. Week is about celebrating the power and influence of women in our society and community as they transform lives and improve our economic conditions," said Frederick County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Rick Weldon. "Every single day, in ways both small and significant, our women leaders in Frederick County are working to create opportunity, to innovate and to lead by example. Our Chamber deeply values these critical efforts, and it just seems fitting to set aside a week full of fun and informative sessions for celebrating their collective contributions."
The WIB Committee invites the community to join them throughout the week as they partner with local women’s organizations, woman-owned business and woman-friendly businesses to honor and celebrate local entrepreneurs, philanthropists, politicians, military personnel and other trailblazing women! Hear their inspiring stories and celebrate their successes and yours during S.H.E. Week.
“The Committee is thrilled to host this new series of events for the women of Frederick County. It is filled with powerful speakers and valuable information that women from all backgrounds can use in their careers and overall life. We believe this will be the first of many more S.H.E. Weeks to come!’ stated WIB committee co-chairs Ashley Warthen and Rachael Pashkevich.

TAKING YOUR PASSION TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Tuesday, August 27, 2019 | 11:30am | Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ
Many of us have dreams but we don’t know what to do with them. What would it be like to give your dream some breathing space? To tell someone about it, face the obstacles (both inner and outer) and take your passion to the next level? This program will begin with an inspiring interview with Karlys Kline, who started The Women’s Giving Circle of Frederick County in 2006. What started as an idea has grown to a group that totals over 350 in membership and over $1,444,515 in grant funds to 47 local nonprofit organizations. At this interactive and engaging luncheon, you will learn how to overcome self-defeating thinking, share your own passion and vision with other supportive women and create action steps to take your passion to the next level. Lunch and beverages will be served. Catering by Canapes.
