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, Former County Executive, Frederick County Government.
