Committee Descriptions
THE WOMEN IN BUSINESS COMMITTEE
Both the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce and Sausalito Chamber of Commerce have joined forces forming a powerful and dynamic networking group for women in business whether they are individual business owners or professional women of larger businesses.
Our objective is to provide purposeful networking opportunities to help women create referral opportunities and to forge important business partnerships. Additionally, we intend to provide educational business resources to facilitate business knowledge and growth through strategically planned events throughout the calendar year.
