Welcome
Welcome to the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce’s Inaugural Women’s Legacy Event! I’ve partnered with the PGCOC Women in Business Development Committee to host this event that will enlighten us and stimulate our way of thinking. I hope you will come away from this evening with the motivation you need to achieve your goals whether business or personal. We are honoring two phenomenal women of Prince George’s County who paved the way for women in all industries that were once dominated by men. These women have been leaders dedicating their lives to ensure that Prince Georges’ County has a voice. This County where women are leaders in: government, education, real estate, private industry, utilities & county agencies. The panel of strong women leaders we have assembled here tonight will share their Pearls of Wisdom with us- with the hope that you will be inspired enough by their words to motivate others. Thank you for attending and for your continued support of the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce.
