Hustle in Heels - LADIES LEAD NWA is an initiative of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce dedicated to empowering, educating, and connecting women with a modern approach to professional and business development.

Women In Industry Panel

The Women In Industry Panel is an opportunity to hear from three women leading their field in careers typically associated with men. Moderated by Good Day NWA Co-Host Jaclyn House, the Women In Industry Panel will feature women in manufacturing, construction, and telecommunications. Attendees will be able to hear these women share their stories, learn about some of the unique challenges they face as women leaders in traditionally male-dominated careers, and can ask questions of their own.
