“For good ideas
and true innovation,
you need human
interaction, conflict,
argument, debate.
—Margaret Heffernan
In the chamber of commerce world, there is no
shortage of ideas for programs and services that
are designed to bring together business people
for professional development, networking, and
business-to-business relationship building. It is always
gratifying when an initiative manages to do all those
things and more.
Empower, the Northeastern PA Women’s Leadership
Conference, is now in its fifth year of uniting female
business professionals of all levels of experience
to meet, share knowledge, establish business
relationships and expand their horizons.
Last year, this event sold out well before the
projected deadline, so register early to guarantee
your place at this important gathering.
2 • The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce
More than 500 individuals will attend Empower
on Wednesday, May 1. Past participants have
consistently reported that this event has inspired
them to grow in both their professional and personal
lives.
