Women in Business: Fostering Growth and Connection
The Liberty Hill Chamber of Commerce (LHCC) Women in Business meeting has become one of the most dynamic monthly gatherings for female business professionals and business leaders in the area. Designed to foster meaningful connections and provide essential resources for business growth, the meeting offers attendees a chance to network, collaborate, and learn from engaging speakers who consistently address a variety of topics.
Since first launch, the event has seen steady and impressive growth. Kelly Michael, LHCC executive director, attributes this success to the supportive, empowering atmosphere it creates for women in business. “The Women in Business meeting has become a valuable space where local businesswomen can share their experiences, learn from each other, and form lasting professional relationships. It’s been amazing to see how much this event has grown and the positive impact it’s having,” she says.
Why Networking and Professional Development Matter
Networking is one key aspect of the Women in Business meeting, giving attendees the opportunity to build connections with like-minded professionals who understand the challenges and rewards of running or expanding a busi-
ness. “By connecting with other local businesswomen, attendees gain fresh ideas, potential collaborators, and future clients or customers. The benefits of networking extend well beyond the meeting, as many participants continue to build relationships and share opportunities long after the event ends.”
Another major draw for the meeting is the lineup of engaging speakers who discuss practical strategies designed to help business owners grow and succeed. Whether it’s marketing, financial planning, time management, or leadership development, the topics covered provide actionable takeaways that attendees can apply to their businesses. Speakers provide valuable insights that come from personal experience and Liberty Hill’s local business community.
The Value of Chamber Membership
While the Women in Business meeting is a standout event, it is just one of the many benefits that come with being a member of the Liberty Hill Chamber of Commerce. LHCC President Steven Schiff highlights the key advantages of a Chamber membership:
1. Enhanced Visibility – Chamber members benefit from increased exposure through the Chamber’s website, social media channels, and events. Vis-
ibility helps businesses build brand awareness and attract new customers, a crucial advantage in a competitive marketplace.
2. Advocacy and Representation – The Chamber plays a vital role in advocating for the interests of the local business community. Members benefit from having a voice championing policies that encourage economic growth and business.
3. Access to Resources and Support –Chamber members have access to resources like educational workshops, mentorship opportunities, and business development programs.
Additionally, a weekly marketing/business promotional email is sent out to all members of LHCC at no charge to the business owner as a member benefit.
As the Liberty Hill Chamber of Commerce continues to grow, events like the Women in Business monthly meeting are helping build a vibrant, supportive business community. For those looking to connect, learn, and grow, the Chamber provides a vital pathway to long-term success.
