EmpowHER 2019
Our 7th annual women’s business conference!
empowHER
A Day in the Life of Empowher:
Empowher 2019 is in the books and it was one for the ages! We are forever grateful to our committee, our sponsors and all of our guests for making the day such a success. Thank you to Westfield’s Blair Center staff for assisting in making the day great.
The day opened with a social hour and a networking mix and mingle. Guests were tasked with locating the two other missing parts of their pattern puzzle. When located, the newly formed teams of three discussed superhuman powers, vacations and three commonalities among the group. Attendees were able to:
1. Make new connections
2. Learn something new about someone they already had met
3. Help identify super skills within other people
The lucky winners took home gift cards and cute mugs from The Book Store.
The morning speaker was Stephanie York from Hennes Communications. She provided an eye-opening and entertaining presentation on communicating effectively in times of crisis. Highlighted takeaways include; tell the truth, tell it first, tell it all and tell it fast. No matter the size of your business or the situation you find yourself in, lead with the truth and control the story. Courage in the face of crisis will have a lasting effect on the outcome of the situation.
Attendees of the event were also treated to a taste of Corporate Yoga, courtesy of Heart Song Yoga Studio. After a delicious and healthy lunch, guests were encouraged to refocus energies via yogic breathing and light stretching at their chairs. The room was perfectly quiet as hands were held over hearts for a moment of appreciation in the moment before attention was directed back to the continuing program.
With renewed focus, Retired Rear Admiral June Ryan of the U.S. Coast Guard was introduced to the stage for the closing keynote. This highly interactive session had people up and moving, testing their brain limits, and rethinking the power of positive thoughts!

Introducing the BRAND NEW chamber website!
WELCOME
The Greater Medina Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to introduce you to our new website. It has been about 5 years since we last overhauled our site, so we were long overdue. As you navigate through the new site here are a few features we suggest you check out:
· Member Benefits page: Here you can learn how to increase your visibility, save money through a variety of savings programs, and explore opportunities to participate within the chamber.
· Events page: Never miss an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow. This section of the website will keep you informed of all upcoming Chamber activities.
· Directory: Think chamber members first. If you or someone you know needs a referral to a particular service, check our directory. Find a fellow chamber member and reach out and make a connection.
We are looking forward to many signature events in 2019 like the 7th annual EmpowHer Conference and our always sold out annual golf outing. This year, we are also pleased to present a very special business breakfast with Chris Antonettii and Paul Dolan of the Cleveland Indians. We also think you deserve a vacation, so be sure to visit the Ireland Group trip information page on the website as well.
You can expect no interruption in our always popular standing member events like Chamber Chat, Eggs & Expertise, Safety Council, Networking WOW!, monthly member lunches, Business after Business, Young Professional gatherings and more.

2019 Board president, Michelle Masica, led the afternoon session with a focus on goal setting after providing a delicious lunch of salad, lasagna, and bread sticks.
