The Greater Boston Chamber’s Women’s Network was founded in 1994 to promote and expand economic opportunities throughout the Greater Boston region for all women in business through shared leadership and expertise. The Women’s Network offers events and programs that provide inspiration and enrich the opportunities and careers for women at all professional levels and promote the transformative influence that women have within the Greater Boston region.
In addition to the momentous 30th Anniversary of the Pinnacle Awards, the Chamber’s Board of Directors successfully achieved a significant goal as part of its continuing efforts to promote business community equity and inclusion: women now represent 51% of Directors. Not only has Board gender parity been achieved, but the Chamber reached this goal two years early.
