This year’s Women’s Leadership Summit focuses on the Theme of “Be Fearlessly Authentic, Bravely You”
Success is different for every person and is especially relevant when one considers the diversity of New Jersey, particularly Middlesex County, and the events of the past year plus. Therefore, it was important to select a wide variety of topics that affects individuals on a professional, personal and wellness level. This allows the event to be a “one-stop-shop” which takes a holistic approach to an individual’s development regardless of their background, age or occupation.
The Chamber’s Women in Business Committee has been focused on meeting the needs of our workforce today and the future for nearly two decades with our Women’s Leadership Summit, which provides women with the opportunity to develop, learn and connect with other female professionals each year.
This year’s Women’s Leadership Summit is scheduled for October 20th, 2022, and runs from 8 AM to 1 PM. It features networking sessions, a philanthropic speaker, panel discussion, wellness expo, brunch and a keynote address.

2022-09-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Voorhees Hall, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901, United States
Little Satchmo – John Alexander (Clearwater, Florida)
September 18 – Online for 24 Hours and In-Person at 7 PM
To the world, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius, unparalleled success, and unassailable character. To Sharon, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature; he had desires, he had longings, and in private, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now. 2021; 61 min.
