IWCCF Board of Directors meeting in a Central Florida boardroom

Leadership

The Founding Leadership Team.

The IWCCF Board of Directors and Executive Committee — women who have built businesses in Central Florida and now govern the Chamber that serves them.

Governance

A formally governed chamber — not a volunteer club.

IWCCF is directed by a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee with defined officer roles, fiduciary responsibility, and accountability to the membership. Directors set strategy, approve the budget, and steward the Chamber's standards.

Member-led committees carry that strategy into practice — and committee service is the primary pathway onto the Board.

Board of Directors

Meet the Founding Leadership Team.

Five founding directors, each leading an area of the Chamber's work.
