CelebrateHER Awards Luncheon Presented by Service Credit Union
Date and Time
Wednesday Feb 4, 2026
11:30 AM - 1:30 PM EST
PLEASE NOTE: TICKETS WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR. AS OF 10 A.M. JAN. 30, THE WAITING LIST HAS BEEN ENABLED
The CelebrateHER initiative — a Chamber program launched in November 2023 in partnership with the Women’s Business League —is coming right up! It’s a growing series focused on uplifting, connecting, and celebrating women in business across the Seacoast.
The awards luncheon will also serve as the kickoff of a educational series we will be hosting. The educational series will provide women with the tools and resources they need to become a success in their chosen field and perhaps get a little inspiration from these women's stories along the way. We hope you will join us.
