History: The Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Nevada (WCCNV) was founded in 2002 and is the Official Nevada State Women’s Chamber in the state’s 159-year history. I am also the owner of ABC Publishing since 1982 and have been an entrepreneur since 1977.

In early 2002, I was introduced to the idea of starting a Women’s State Chamber for Nevada by the U.S. Chamber, who I have been a member of for over 40 years. What most people do not know is that I've invested my own money to maintain the chamber for the first five years, until the membership gave the Chamber financial stability with the help of my own company ABC Publishing© we were able to raise extra revenue dues.

I also used my publishing company to promote our Bi-Monthly Chamber Business Journal© to help market our members and give them a platform in Las Vegas media and Nevada About local and state news, chamber membership, relocation and visitors.

As the official State Women’s Chamber for Nevada, we are non-partisan and do not endorse candidates. We have no political affiliation, nor do we have PAC Fun. We support women in all areas of business ownership and careers. We also support all diversity in business, local, and state and federal offices. Our Government Affairs Council Director is Ms. Anita Laruy, who has served 40 years in the legal and government arena.

As the CEO of WCCNV, I am always promoting all diversity Chambers of Commerce within the State of Nevada. We work with all 45 state chambers in the US and email our publications to thousands of city chambers as well.
