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. In 2020, despite a global pandemic and the shift to a virtual conference, S.H.E. Week grew exponentially and exceeded previous attendance records. 
 
Every single day, in ways both small and significant, 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, influence and resiliency of women in our community as they work to transform lives, breakdown barriers and improve our economic conditions.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE:

"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. 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!" - Jan Gardner, County Executive, Frederick County Government.

​"WOW! S.H.E. Week was the most inspiring, fun, and educational conference I have ever been to. Every female, no matter your role at work or life, should attend!" -Whitney Cummins, M.Ed. Cummins Leadership Foundation

"The women involved were so warm and welcoming and inspiring, from the original messaging to the bag pick up to the moderators and participants in each session. Chats were positive and engaging and everyone was real. I loved the flexibility of events at different times and the ability to watch recordings of anything I couldn't watch live."
