Message from the.. Founder, President & Chief Executive Officer
Dear Members & Readers, As a not-for-profit organization, the Women’s State Chamber is 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. I know we have had a setback from covid but we are moving forward with life and business. Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Nevada® established May 8, 2002 and today it promotes more than 448 members event after covid since 2019, but we need to move on and reach out to the other 37,600 women entrepreneurs, 9,700 women in executive/management positions to Register with the Women’s Chamber so we can build a strong coalition to get the help women need and get laws passed to help women succeed. Women residents in Nevada make up 5 7% of the population and 90% of the buying power and decision making. We already made history in (2002) as the only Women’s State Chamber to ever be established in the 158-year history, now that is a major accomplishment for the Women’s Chamber. As a 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 through entrepreneurship, empowerment, education, training, monitoring, leadership programs, business networking, financial, grants, scholarships, business, loans, job opportunities, women certification, community partnerships and alliances. We continue to promote growth, diversity and economic development of women and minority women, and to achieve the integration of women into leadership roles. We also made sure all our voices are heard in Nevada and Washington, D.C. on many issues facing women in the 21st Century and beyond through our Government Affairs and Community Relations efforts. 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, we now have women from twenty-six different countries and a wide level of minority women within its membership base. WCCNV continues to build alliances through Minority Chambers which are very important to the state of Nevada (African American, Asian, Chinese, Hawaiian, India, Indian, Japanese, Latin, Mexican, Philippine, Porte Rican 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 will also continue our efforts to build international relationships right here in Nevada.
