Fresno County Women's Chamber of Commerce: Women with a Mission
Tuesday, March 25, 2008

At the Fresno County Women's Chamber of Commerce lunch today, I was reminded of a very important rule:  watch out for women on a mission!  And, the women of the Fresno County Women's Chamber are certainly no exception to that rule.  I learned today that the Fresno County Women's Chamber has more than tripled the attendance at its monthly meeting in just the last few years.  They now have almost 200 members.  These folks are raising money for local scholarships, providing resources to support the growth of small businesses, taking on health and fitness challenges together, and organizing important community events.  It was a pleasure to speak to the Women's Chamber.  One of the members even wrote a poem to mark the occassion.  Check out local poet Liesel Garner's poem on what Fresnans are looking for in their local leaders.
