Women Empowered Professional Development Luncheon
Leading By Example
 
Being a woman is empowering and easy, right? If only that was the case! As women, we tend to compare. We are our worst critics. We think we aren?t worthy. Social media depicts perfect lives, when in reality?we ALL struggle. But how are we dealing with the struggles? Are we rising up and showing resiliency? Are we wallowing in our sorrows, projecting negativity, gossiping? Hear from local women who have overcome hurt and pain, hardships and negative self-talk. These local leaders are here to debunk the picture perfect façade and talk about the importance of being vulnerable and sharing their stories. You will gain knowledge on the power of positivity...The power of random acts of kindness?The power of Leading By Example. Actions speak louder than words. What kind of legacy do you want to leave?

Join us Tuesday, Jan. 25th - 11:00am-1:00pm at Seville Golf & Country Club!

Attendees will hear from keynote speaker, Jenn Daniels, CEO of Horizon Strategies and former Town of Gilbert Mayor!  



Jenn has been an elected leader for over a decade, serving as a Councilmember, Vice-Mayor and the Mayor of Gilbert, Arizona. As Mayor, she was committed to the future of Gilbert and, as part of the Town?s ?City of the Future? initiative was focused on innovating local government in the areas of fiscal responsibility, infrastructure and technology and community prosperity. Under Jenn?s leadership, the Town implemented advisory groups including Advancing Education in Gilbert, ONE Gilbert and the Executive Advisory Committee. During Jenn?s time in leadership, the Town achieved AAA bond ratings from all three rating agencies, opened three new parks, and transformed the Heritage District into a regional destination with some of the best restaurants in Arizona-all while remaining the safest community in the state with the lowest cost of service in the metro Phoenix area. Jenn has also been a small business owner since 2005. Jenn has served on several regional and national boards and committees, including the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council, Regional Transportation Policy Committee, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, League of Cities and Towns Executive Committee, and Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, and as a Rodel Fellow for the Aspen Institute. In 2020, Jenn was appointed by Governor Doug Ducey to a six-year term on the State Transportation Board.

COVID-19 Update:
The health and safety of our community is a top priority. So that we can continue to offer in-person events, we ask guests to review and adhere the following protocols. These protocols will remain in effect while our community is in Substantial or High Transmission: 

• All individuals, including those who are fully vaccinated, are encouraged to wear masks while inside the building, especially when distancing of 6 or more feet cannot be accommodated.
• If you have been in close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19; OR if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, chills, cough, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, or other symptoms; OR if attending an in-person meeting would compromise the health of you or a family member, please do not attend any meeting or event in-person. We will gladly accommodate you with a virtual attendance link, if possible.

 As we navigate through this together, you can rest assured that our team will work diligently to maintain high standards and quality programming to deliver a valuable experience to you, even with these protocols in place. We will continue to monitor local, state, and federal guidance and will adjust these protocols as needed. The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce reserves the right to cancel any in-person activity at any time through the guidance of our Board of Directors.
