(July 4, 2024) – The San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the launch of the Corridor Women’s Network, a new initiative to connect, inform and elevate professional women in the area. Women who work and live along the I-35 Corridor between Austin and San Antonio are invited to participate. A dynamic series of monthly events will be held to help grow relationships, offer leadership insights, and create a vibrant network of women who support and uplift each other.
The series will include after-hours events, coffee meet-ups, and luncheons with inspiring speakers such as CEOs, coaches and civic leaders. There will be information sharing, mini adventures, games, spirits, and support! Most sessions will include food & beverages and will have admission fees. Plan to participate to build meaningful connections and be part of an encouraging community!
Leading the Initiative:
From the Chamber Board of Directors, Brooke Damron of The Damron Group Realtors is cochairing the launch of this network with Blythe Cox from Texas Regional Bank and Incoming Chamber Chairwoman Cassidy Berenato of Texas Aviation Partners.
“All three of these women have extensive experience with professional and social networks,” said Page Michel, President of the San Marcos Area Chamber. “They are eager to share with other women to help them grow and get more engaged with our chamber and community.” Republic Services is one of the first sponsors of this network. Other sponsorships are available.
This new group will have its first meet-up on Thursday, July 25, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. It will be hosted at Tarbox & Brown Restaurant (201 Kissing Tree Lane, Building 5), sponsored by the San Marcos Area Chamber and Republic Services. It will feature networking, interactive activities, and a taste of what’s to come in future sessions.
