WCC Meet & Mingle - #inspiHER Grant Spotlight
TUESDAY October 14 | 5:30 -7pm
Colony Grill
Celebrate Impact. Welcome New Members.
Join us at our October Meet & Mingle for an inspiring evening of connection and celebration!
We are proud to announce the 2024–2025 WCC Grant Recipients — local nonprofits whose missions enrich Pinellas County through service, education, and cultural impact. Each recipient is chosen for their proven commitment to our community and will receive both financial support and year-long visibility through WCC’s network.
This special evening also kicks off our Membership Drive, welcoming new members into our Chamber. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with dynamic women leaders, learn more about our mission, and become part of a legacy of service and philanthropy.
Heads up on the calendar shuffle! This month our Meet & Mingle falls on the second Tuesday, and our Luncheon lands just two days later on Thursday. It’s one of those rare “second week meets third week” kinds of weeks — so mark your calendar twice and join us for both!
Date: Tuesday October 14th
Location: Colony Grill
Celebrate our grant recipients, expand your network, and join us in shaping the future of WCC!
