Women in Biz Networking
0084

In honor of International Women's Day, it was an honor to celebrate many of the wonderful and talented women in our Chamber business community throughout the month of March.

Our thanks to those who participated this year and gratitude for all the terrific members who followed along on social media and liked and shared our posts!

In case you missed it, you can find an archive of the 41 businesses that were showcased during the 2026 Women in Business campaign this month -- click the link below.

Another highlight of our month-long Women in Business celebration was our Women's Connections networking event at Le Colonial. We would like to thank our colleagues at the Highland Park and Highwood Chambers once again for partnering with us on this wonderful event. It was a fantastic gathering of women in our collective business communities with proceeds from admission being donated to A Safe Place, a nonprofit dedicated exclusively to supporting victims of domestic violence and human trafficking.

And another resounding thank you to to our hosts at Le Colonial and to Michael Delott of Michael Delott Photography and Headshots for capturing the evening beautifully. A link to the gallery of photos can be found below.

The Mission of the LF/LB Chamber is to connect and unite businesses, community members and both municipalities through partnership and innovative strategies to ensure the current and future prosperity of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, the extraordinary place we work, play and call home.
