Join us at this annual awards celebration on Wednesday, July 24th to celebrate the spirit and culture of Women in Business in South Carolina. Women professionals return to this event year after year to network, share their stories, and find inspiration and ideas to power their journey forward.

These incredible women will be featured in the July issues of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, and B2B: The Grand Strand. Sponsorship of this event supports a commitment to diversity, and recognition of the impact that women have in our business community. The luncheon offers an opportunity to meet business leaders, share information about your organization and programs, and show appreciation to women employees, clients, and partners by inviting them to attend.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER-MELISSA BARKER -Women Entrepreneurs Inc. Founder & CEO

Keynote-Melissa Barker — **It's Time to Get Visible**

Recognized as #1 on the ForbesWomen Must-Watch list, Melissa Barker is a prominent marketing and #VISIBILITY expert.
With a focus on empowering women to show up authentically—and wildly dissatisfied with conventional methods of gaining exposure—Melissa, a former Coca-Cola Global Marketing Executive, is on a mission to prove there’s a better way to get #VISIBLE.
Her award-winning membership platform, Women Entrepreneurs Inc., stands as a testament to her branding, design, and digital marketing expertise, offering a supportive community of ambitious women, 1:1 coaching, and trainings from industry experts.
After helping hundreds of women build dream businesses—and cultivate a path to #VISIBILITY that truly excites them—Melissa’s book, “Why #VISIBLE Women Will Win,” guides women entrepreneurs to make their mark on the world in a way that feels authentically aligned with who they are and the story they want to tell.
