The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce is announcing incoming Council members for the Women’s Leadership Community (WLC), an initiative to elevate women’s voices in leadership and across the Abbotsford business community.
“A strong Chamber needs diverse perspectives and leaders who reflect the business community we represent,” said Alex Mitchell, CEO of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce. “Our Women’s Leadership Community is about ensuring women have a strong voice in shaping the Chamber’s work, influencing the issues we champion and creating opportunities for others to succeed. It’s more than building connections. It’s about bringing women’s leadership and perspectives to the forefront of our business community and turning that engagement into meaningful impact.”
