The Chamber's Women of Influence committee supports the community 
The Chamber's robust Women of Influence (WOI) committee has had a busy 2013 thus far! In addition to welcoming Viola Davis at their annual luncheon to a record crowd, they've hosted a Women's Series Lunch with a humorous and informative panel of doctors, as well as a Pearls of Wisdom event with a panel of local non-profits. In addition to all of that, the group has started extensive outreach projects throughout the Tampa community, with a focus on women.
Early in the year, the group came together to discuss a committee mission statement. They decided on: "Through our leadership and service, the Women of Influence Committee will inspire and educate women through identification and response to business and community needs in collaboration with community partners." This statement has given the committee a renewed focus and direction in 2013. Read more about the Committee's projects this year.
