Lehigh Valley Women's Summit

You've seen us in the news, so join the committee behind one of the best women's conferences in the state! This committee helps coordinate the annual event, from selecting speakers to marketing the event. New volunteers are welcome to contribute.

Scholarship Committee

This committee plans what many members proclaim to be the most dynamic holiday event of the Chamber calendar year. With Chamber members selling holiday gift items, to the fabulous gift raffle benefiting our scholarship programs, this is a great committee in which to participate. This committee plans a spring fundraising event, as well as updates scholarship applications, distributes scholarship applications to local high schools and chooses the WBC scholarship recipients.

Marketing Committee

This committee develops effective communications for our members and the community. It helps to promote the WBC’s mission, goals, accomplishments, events and programs. Look for The Networker, our monthly newsletter, distributed at each luncheon.

Program Committee

This committee plans the monthly luncheons providing networking opportunities for women, and it also plans various programs to promote growth and development.

Membership Committee
