Women's Chamber Turns "20" with a Year Long Celebration in 2022 As a Women's not-for-profit organization, the Official State Women's Chamber in Nevada's 158-year history, we are devoted to empowering and improving the quality of life for women in the state of Nevada by providing the resources, education, counseling and coaching, access to capital, and an active network of women to help achieve business and professional success. Women's Chamber of Commerce of Nevada® was established on May 8, 2002 and continues to promote more than 500+ members. However, we need to reach out to the other 37,600 women entrepreneurs, 9,700 women in executive/ management positions in Nevada and ask them to register with the Women's Chamber, this will ensure our ability in building a strong coalition to get the help women need and get laws passed to help women succeed. The total population of Nevada is estimated at 3.2 million, ranks 33rd populous state in US. Nevada is the seventh largest state with 110,577 square miles (286,382 sq km) in the United States with 1,426,793 male and 1,412,306 female. Women residents in Nevada make up 57% of the population and 90% of the buying power and decision making. We already made history in 2002 as the first Women's State Chamber to ever be established in the 158-year history in Nevada which is a major accomplishment for the Women's Chamber and all the women in the state of Nevada.
Mission& Vision
As the official State Women's Chamber, within the Union of the United States of America, we have a big role to play in supporting all levels of young girls to women i.e., high school students, interns, college students, employees, women in top positions, small-to-large businesses, corporate executives, government employees, women in Entertainment and Media plus all women in the workforce. Our efforts are on creating an economic community for women in Nevada through entrepreneurship, empowerment, education, training, mentoring, leadership programs, business networking, financial, grants, scholarships, business loans, job opportunities, women certification, community partnerships and alliances. We continue to promote growth, diversity in economic development of women and minority women, and to achieve the integration of women into leadership roles. We also make sure all our voices are heard in Nevada and Washington, D.C. on many issues facing women in in the 21st Century and beyond through our Government Affairs and Community Relations efforts.
Diversity
Building diversity is imperative. We want to increase awareness and strengthen through cultural diversity within the Women's Chamber and our membership reflects just that. Currently there are women from twenty-six different countries and a wide level of minority women within our membership base. W CCNV continues to build alliances through Minority Chambers, which are very important to the state of Nevada (Asian, Hawaiian, India, Indian, Japanese, Latin, Philippine and Urban to date). We will continue to advise companies to offer more opportunities for women to integrate into higher-level positions and to hire minority-owned businesses for their products or services in the state of Nevada. WCCNV continues our efforts to build international relationships right here in Nevada.
