Our Mission
The Business Women's Alliance of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce's mission is to empower and develop women through education, networking, mentoring and partnerships, and to promote opportunities for all women throughout Citrus County. Beyond Our Mission Through its scholarship program, the BWA supports female students in furthering their education in academic and career studies. Who We Are The BWA is composed of an active group of businesswomen - all Chamber members in good standing. How to Join Us The BWA welcomes guests at our monthly general membership meetings. Check the Chamber's website for dates and locations. Membership in the BWA is limited to 25 active businesswomen. Interested parties should attend a meeting or contact the Chamber for more information. Vacancies occur periodically. Achieving Our Mission The BWA invites you to our networking and program events, which are open to the public. Dates of our upcoming events are on the Chamber's website or contact the Chamber directly. Networking Luncheons Learn effective networking skills, connect with other businesswomen, establish relationships and develop business possibilities. The three networking luncheons help fund scholarships each year. Sponsorships are available to promote your business and/or organization. Women's Health and Fitness Expo This popular annual event helps educate women and those around them about their health, fitness and wellness. There are opportunities for pampering and for discussions with health and fitness product and service providers. Sponsorships are available to promote your business or organization. Scholarships for Women Funded by our quarterly events, the BWA awards scholarships for academic and career studies to local high school seniors as well as Withlacoochee Technical College students. Penny Harvest With funds from the Penny Harvest jars placed at local businesses, the BWA assists women sponsored local non-profit organizations. Small, one-time grants are offered to further career education or employment opportunities.
