members, reaching out to the 37,600 women entrepreneurs, 9,700

Mission &
Vision
As a State Women’s Chamber within
the Union of the United States of America, we have a big role to
play in supporting college students, women in top positions,
small-to-large businesses, corporate executives, government
employees and all women in the workforce. Our efforts are on
creating an economic community for women through
entrepreneurship, empowerment, education, training, business
networking, financial, grants, business, loans, job
opportunities, women certification, community partnerships and
alliances. We continue to promote growth, diversity and
economic development of women and minority women, and to achieve
the integration of women into leadership roles. We also make
sure all our voices are heard in Washington, D.C. on many issues
facing women in Nevada in the 21st Century and beyond through
our Government Affairs and Community Relations efforts.
Diversity
Building diversity is imperative, we want to increase
awareness and strengthen through cultural diversity within the
Women’s Chamber and our membership reflects just that, we now
have women from twenty one different countries and a wide level
of minority women within its membership base. WCCNV continues to
build alliances through Minority Chambers which are very
important to the state of Nevada (Asian, Hawaiian, India,
Indian, Latin, Philippine and Urban to date). We will continue
to advise companies to offer more opportunities for women in
higher-level positions and to hire minority-owned businesses for
their products or services in the state of Nevada. WCCNV will
also continue our efforts to build International relationships
right here in Nevada.
Important:
The Women’s Chamber of
Commerce of Nevada® complies with Federal Law to include
non-discrimination; we have men business owners and top
executives within the Women’s Chamber membership base who are
trying to reach the most influential buyers in Nevada (Women)
and most importantly, support women in our state.
