In 2005 the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce seized the opportunity to highlight the important role women fill in the workplace. This annual conference is designed to empower professional women through education and networking. Each year, the conference offers a balance of networking and education sessions themed around topical matters designed to empower women to advance their opportunities in the workforce and obtain maximum work-life balance for a healthy lifestyle.
