Our Work Adds Up
“Engaging with W2W was one of my best personal and professional decisions. W2W leverages the power of the Chamber network to help women influencers, entrepreneurs, and business and community leaders support women in the workforce. The W2W experience has helped me grow by expanding my horizons, and I know our Herbein team has benefited from the initiative’s wide-ranging programming, particularly as we recently implemented our women’s initiative.”
