The Carlisle Area Chamber has been hosting Business Women’s Forum for over 24 years. What started as a Carlisle-only day of development for area businesswomen with speakers, seminars, vendors and networking opportunities, has grown into the region’s largest one-day professional development program for women. Why is this important? 1. The Carlisle Area Chamber handles the administrative, financial, and logistical functions of the event, while our partners – the West Shore Chamber handles seminar programming, and the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and CREDC supports our marketing efforts under the leadership of a Carlisle Chamber team member. 2. The event has moved from the former Embers/Hotel Carlisle to the Radisson to the PA Farm Show to the Radisson and finally, Messiah College for the past three years. We love the Messiah campus and it is centrally located for our attendees. 3. Our sponsors – for example Geisinger Holy Spirit – our Presenting Sponsor. As an organization, their sponsorship offsets the overall cost of administering the event and they have been our partner for six years now. Without them, our event would not be what it is today and we are eternally grateful. a. Wells Fargo Advisers and Jennifer Buehler, our Event Chair – as the sponsor of the Keynote for the past few years, are so pleased that they support presenters that inspire, teach and create opportunities for us to grow and develop b. UPMC Pinnacle – the Networking Luncheon was fun and lively - our table walked away knowing a little bit more about the people that they were seated with and themselves! c. The CenturyLink Business Woman of the Year Award – this award gives us the opportunity to recognize a business leader that strives every day to lead those that they interact with, develop and learn in all types of ways, and share their knowledge with all of us d. PennState Health – our Wellness Walk Sponsor – the walk between the seminar and tradeshow area gives us all a chance to catch our breath and enjoy the experience of the day – the Wellness Walk makes it more enjoyable! e. Door Prize Sponsor – Mountz Jewelers – thank you! We had two amazing prizes this year – and the recipients – I don’t think that I have seen two more excited winners! Also, Members 1st Federal Credit Union was our Breakout Session sponsor; our Program Sponsor was Daley Zucker Meilton Miner; our Gold sponsors were: PPL, Homeland Hospice, McKonly & Asbury, Brown Schultz, Sheridan, & Fritz, and Penn National Insurance. Thank you also to the vendors, Advisory Committee, attendees, Messiah College and our Board of Directors because they give us the freedom to offer this great day of development for all business professionals in our region.
