The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and Women in Business program are kicking off a speaker series.
Sharla Meisenheimer, Chamber Director of Membership, tells KMAN they are hosting a series called the Ripple Effect Speaker Series. Meisenheimer says the program will be full of women entrepreneurs and will consist of one speaker each month for six months.
“It’s a recorded speaker, and you will get the link to it and at your leisure you have the opportunity to listen to this speaker,” Meisenheimer says. “You will get the link on Friday morning and then you will have until Tuesday at midnight to listen to the speaker. Then on Wednesday, we will have what we are calling a Leader Chat. We’re going to talk about that speaker and what they had to say, and ‘How does that impact you, what did you feel about it, what are some lessons you can take away and put into place in your workplace or you personally, how does that affect you?'”.
Meisenheimer says the first video will be sent out on March 26th and the speaker will be Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of well-known Facebook co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Randi Zuckerberg is now a large part of the Facebook marketing. The Leader Chat will be the following Wednesday March 31st at noon.
Other speakers during the series will be:
Paralympian- Bonnie St. John
Author and Entrepreneur- Radha Agrawal
Chief Leadership Officer to Levo- Tiffany Dufu
Editor-in-Chief of Fast Company- Stephanie Mehta
Women’s Soccer Legend- Abby Wambach
