Women's Division Meet and Greet a Huge Success

June 18, 2010 - PRLog -- BLOOMINGTON – The McLean County Chamber of Commerce Women’s Division hosted a
meet and greet event at A. Renee wine café in downtown Bloomington last night.

Local women and men were able to network with other professionals and learn about the
benefits that a Women’s Division membership can afford. Amidst the networking, Women’s
Division board members gave presentations about the many programs offered by the
organization, including: a monthly book club, involvement in community events such as
ATHENA® and Relay for Life, and the addition of social networking to the group’s main
programs.

President, Ashley Pettit, was very pleased with the turnout of the event and showed much
enthusiasm for the support Women’s Division received from local businesses and professionals.“It is great to see so many new faces and to have the opportunity to engage women from so many different professional sectors,” Pettit said. “Women’s Division has several new programs that are up and coming, and I think that our members achieve professional and personal growth through their involvement in our organization”.

Women’s Division hosts membership meetings every third Thursday of the month. The
organization has also established a Professional Women’s Book Club, which meets every other
month at the Bloomington Public Library. Additional information about Women’s Division can
