Empowering Women Through Development
The WOW! Forum, a program of the Northwest CT Chamber of Commerce, was created in 2004 in response to the need for professional development and personal growth opportunities for women.
Thank you to the Advisory Board, without whose planning and dedication, the WOW! Forum would not be possible.
