S.H.E. Week 2019

In August of 2019 the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce's Women in Business Committee launched S.H.E. Week, a week of events celebrating the Strength, Heart and Equality of women in Frederick County!

Every single day, in ways both small and significant, our women leaders in Frederick County work to create opportunity, to innovate and to lead by example.

S.H.E. Week is about celebrating the power and influence of women in our society and community as they work to transform lives and improve our economic conditions.

"The Frederick Chamber of Commerce is excited about the over-whelming success of this inaugural event. It was a wonderful way to highlight the amazing trailblazers in our community. I look forward to next year’s SHE Week and thank the Women in Business committee for putting together a terrific event," stated Dr. Andrea Chapdelaine, President of Hood College and incoming Chamber Board President.

For this inaugural series, the Women in Business Committee partnered with various local women’s organizations, woman-owned businesses, and woman-friendly businesses to develop partnerships and programming that spanned the week. Over the course of four days participants were treated to inspiring sessions that spanned topics such as taking your passion to the next level, creating a pathway for success and gaining knowledge and inspiration from fearless females.

"The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Committee’s S.H.E. Week initiative was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate the successes of local women. The week was an enriching experience to learn from local women who have blazed trails, transformed lives and created new opportunities for the next generation of female leaders," said Jan Gardner, County Executive, Frederick County Government. "I enjoyed hearing their stories of success and failure, perseverance and passion, grit and grace. Frederick County is a great place to celebrate the strength, heart and equality of women!"
