Join the Women in Business Committee

The Women in Business Committee Of the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce Invites you to join our committee!

Become a part of our talented and dedicated group of women who are making a difference in today’s workplace!

The Women in Business Committee originated in 1991 when a small but highly talented and energetic group of professional women found themselves discussing the unique challenges facing the growing number of women in the workplace. As the leading agency promoting business within the City of Yonkers, the Chamber of Commerce seemed an appropriate venue from which to originate such a committee to address these challenges.

The major event of the Women in Business Committee is the annual "Women of Excellence Luncheon" which recognizes the heroines in our own community. Every March we honor four outstanding individuals who exemplify excellence and service to our community. In addition, the Women in Business Committee created The Virginia Eyler Scholarship Fund in honor of one of its founding members, for qualified young women from the Yonkers Public Schools. These exceptional students receive a $500 scholarship at the luncheon.

The Women in Business Committee continues to become a greater presence in the community, with projects that benefit the Westchester Food Bank, our troops in Iraq and Women’s Shelters. This year, the Committee plans to collect pajamas for needy children.

The Women in Business Committee meets monthly, on the first Wednesday of each month. Meetings begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. and are held at the Chamber of Commerce. Membership is open to any woman who is a member, in good standing, of the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce. For more information, please contact Jeanne Martinelli at the Chamber Offices, (914) 963-0332 for your application.pm
