to area high schoolers.

Another important goal for the group is to provide opportunities to learn and network, Jordan said.

“Sometimes we have a speaker and sometimes we have a fun networking event,” she said. “For example, in September, our luncheon was a recipe swap of easy weeknight meals. In October, we are having Whitney Brace, owner of Liberty Hill Pharmacy, come and speak to us about health and wellness and give our members a chance to ask the pharmacist their questions.”

Jordan said the monthly luncheons and events are geared toward women business owners to help inspire them through their businesses and personal lives.

“We didn’t have anything at all for women in Liberty Hill,” Jordan said. “I felt a need for myself, so I just discussed it with other like-minded women, and found that they felt the same way. I decided to fill that void and create a community with other women to discuss business ideas, problems, and what’s happening that’s good and bad.”

Jordan said the group has grown steadily over the years, with many of the members being women who work their businesses from home.

“We have a lot of women in this who don’t have storefronts, so it’s an important factor for those who work from home to have a group where they can talk with other business women. There are a lot of business women in Liberty Hill that you would never know unless they came to one of our events.”

Jordan said the group is beneficial for all its members because it allows them to share ideas and connections, and relate to other people who are in similar circumstances.

“We generally average around 20 different women at each event,” Jordan said. “It’s a different group every time. We definitely see different faces from the lunch to evening events.”

Jordan said because the Internet and social media have become the main ways people communicate, it’s easier for women to have a career and still be home with their children and care for their families.

“We have the opportunity to wear all the hats,” she said. “And that’s why these types of groups are important.”

Jordan said attendees to the monthly meetings don’t have to be a member of the Chamber to attend. The cost is $15 per person for members and $20 per person for non-members. The group meets the second Tuesday of the month at Rockpointe Church in Liberty Hill. For more information, visit www.libertyhillchamber.org.
