February has come to a close and March is upon us. While the month is synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day and March Madness, it is also the month that we celebrate International Women’s Day.

International Women's Day, held annually on March 8, is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. As the first woman president of the Middlesex Chamber, I would like to take a moment to thank all of the dynamic women that have supported me along the way and helped me pave a path for future women leaders throughout the county and beyond. If you are looking to take part in International Women’s Day, please visit the following link: https://www.internationalwomensday.com/

Get your brackets ready… March Madness is fast approaching! What better way to kick it off than at our Member Breakfast Meeting featuring UConn Head Women’s Basketball Coach Geno Auriemma! Limited tickets are still available to attend this annual breakfast meeting on Monday, March 13 at the Sheraton Hartford South Hotel in Rocky Hill, sponsored by Webster Bank. To register, please click here. Don’t forget to wear your UConn gear! #gohuskies

Thank you to this week’s volunteer chairs:
Chamber Program Highlight
Women's Leadership Collaborative
The Women’s Leadership Collaborative joined the Chamber team in late fall of 2017 and is the premier resource for women to engage in professional development programs to promote personal and professional growth. Their goal is to unite a diverse mix of inspirational women leaders who empower women to achieve success.

Led by Co-chairs Kim Kann and Nancy Boyle, the collaborative is busy planning activities throughout the year including:
  • Women's Leadership Half-Day Conference
  • “Elevate Women” Mentoring for Women by Women
  • Motivational Monday’s 3-part series
  • And many other engaging events and activities.

Meetings occur on the fourth Wednesday of each month, at 8:30 a.m., in the Chamber Conference Room and through virtual means.
