Chandler is home to many fine women leaders.
This month, the Chandler Chamber of Commerce Women in Leadership luncheon will feature the “Real Women of Chandler,” as chosen by “Chandler Lifestyle Magazine,” including Chandler Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Terri Kimble.
“While it is truly an honor to be ranked among these incredible Chandler women, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to recognize that Chandler is cultivating such a diverse group of individuals contributing to our community,” Kimble said. “I’m talking about entrepreneurs of big business and the worker bees of our nonprofit sector, and public safety to education, these women make a difference every day.”
Kimble, along with her fellow honorees, will headline the May 16 Women in Leadership Luncheon at SoHo 63, located at 63 E. Boston St. A mentoring session will start at 10:30 a.m. with the luncheon and keynote speakers starting at noon.
