This event gathers women-led businesses, women-focused nonprofits, community organizations, and local officials from across the Hudson Valley for a day of empowerment, connection, and shared learning
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK – On March 27th, the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce will host the 3rd Annual Celebrating Women in Business event at Windrose on Hudson’s Learning Lab! From 12 PM to 4 PM, the event will convene local business leaders, subject-matter experts, and community partners for an afternoon of actionable education, women-owned vendors, and real-world tools designed to support women entrepreneurs at every stage.
 
Celebrating Women in Business features a lineup of workshops focused on the challenges women business owners face most often, including confidence, access to funding, and business certifications. Almost all the workshops are also led by women, creating a feedback cycle in which they can pass down their own knowledge so that women don’t have to go it alone.
 
The Chamber is currently accepting sponsors for Celebrating Women in Business, offering exclusive top-level opportunities. Packages begin at $250 and scale up to $2,500, offering strong brand exposure through promotion, signage, on-stage recognition, and vendor engagement, plus tickets and speaking opportunities at select levels. Sponsors help make this programming possible while putting their brand in front of a highly engaged audience of business owners and community leaders. To request the sponsorship packet or reserve a level, contact info@hvgatewaychamber.com or 914.737.3600.
 
“Women-led businesses are driving growth across the Hudson Valley, and they deserve resources that are inspiring, immediately useful, and tailored to the unique challenges they face,” said Carole Voisey, Executive Director of the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce. “Over the past couple of years, this event has grown so much, because the value for women is clear: a center full of women who have been in your exact position, who are sharing their lived experiences.”
